Calamity Jane

US (1953): Western/Musical

Deadwood, Dakota Territory, is largely the abode of men, where Indian scout Calamity Jane (Doris Day) is as hard-riding, boastful, and handy with a gun as any; quite an overpowering personality. But the Army lieutenant she favors (Philip Carey) doesn't really appreciate her finer qualities. One of Jane's boasts brings her to Chicago to recruit an actress for the Golden Garter stage (Allyn Ann McLerie). Arrived, the lady in question appears (at first) to be a more feminine rival for the favors of Jane's male friends...including her friendly enemy Wild Bill Hickock (Howard Keel). David Butler directs this top-notch musical comedy for Warner Bros. Songs include "Hive Full of Honey," "I Can Do Without You," "Keep It Under Your Hat," "Just Blew in from the Windy City," "Higher Than a Hawk," "A Woman's Touch," "The Black Hills of Dakota" and the Oscar-winning "Secret Love."
