Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1953 musical is very much a vehicle for Doris Day, in the title role, as a wild cowgal who can out-shoot and out-sing any boy on the range. When an actress arrives in Deadwood and uses her feminine charms on Jane's secret love, Wild Bill Hickock (Howard Keel), Jane tries to mend her tomboy ways. Not exactly up to the feminist code of honour, this is still energetic and Day is very perky. Of course, one could almost detect a homosexual undercurrent with the cross-dressing Jane, but this was Hollywood in the 1950s, so we best not. Calamity Jane won an Oscar for Best Song--"Secret Love", by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Customer Reviews

My 12 year old loved it
I saw this years ago and forgot how brilliant it is in a feel good kind of way. As a former tom boy I can't help but relate to 'Clam' and was pleasently surprised that my daughter and her friend watched it all the way through and she asked to watch it again the next day. Only downside is that I can't stop singing the tunes in my head and sometimes outload much to my family's embarressment.

i love doris day
i do have an embarassing soft spot for doris day, she always cheers me up when i feel down and ive seen nearly all her films, i think this is a great film to watch and sing along to , 'windy city' is my favourite song on this film, i always get up and sing along, i hope you do too!!!

A MUST!!!!
One of my favourite films EVER, if not my favourite. It compares the care-free western country life with the busy bustle of Chicago. The songs are great, the plot genius and the script hilarious. Add this to Doris Day and a touch of romance, it makes a film to watch again and again(I have watched it four times but could still watch it again and again!) A MUST!!!!!!!
