Calamity Jane (1953)




Doris Day, Howard Keel - Calamity Jane

Calamity Jane




Cheerful, lightly entertaining musical Western with Doris Day putting a tremendous amount of physical and vocal energy into the role of that famous straight-shooting female, who in this case is concerned with persuading Allyn McLerie to sing in Deadwood and then equally anxious she shall sing anywhere but Deadwood when the singer falls in love with Jane's most favoured beau, Philip Carey. Luckily for everyone's happiness there's always handsome Wild Bill Howard Keel Hickok. 1
