It could also be about "Donna's Ranch" instead (if Taylor Hackford is doing a period piece from the late 19th Century. Here is some info from Wikipedia:

Donna's Ranch is a legal, licensed brothel located in Nevada. Donna's Ranch has two locations, one in Battle Mountain, Nevada in Lander County, at 395 North 2nd Street, and one in Wells, in Elko County, on 8th Street. The ranch traces its history back to 1870 and is owned by Geoff Arnold.

Previously the The Calico Club, Donna's Calico Club, and Chardon's Club.

Thanks for providing that info (all of which is new to me); however, in this particular film, the Ranch quite definitely is of the Mustang variety http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=hackfo rd+mustang+ranch&btnG=Google+Search

Thanks John. Most of the quotes that Gleason delivers from that movie are gems. That's why he is called "The Greatest."

The movie is loosely based on the murder of the Argentinian heavyweight boxer Oscar Bonavena in 1976 at the Mustang Ranch(a house of prostitution) near Reno, Nevada.

He was shot in the chest by a security guard at the ranch in a dispute over a woman.
