Calamity Jane, starring Doris Day and Howard Keel, is a wonderful musical. I like most musicals, and I love Doris Day, so this is a bit of a sure thing for me! Calamity Jane is a young woman living in Deadwood, a town in the Wild West. Calam' is a woman who has no interest in femininity, much preferring to wield her guns and prove she is as good at it as the next man. But, when she meets Katie Price, she gets in touch with her feminine side, and is encouraged to apply 'a woman's touch'. However, this new found friendship falters somewhat when it becomes clear that Danny, the man who Calam' has always had a soft spot for, is actually in love with Katie. Thankfully, after a gunfight or two and a bit of crying, Calam' realises that she is in love with Wild Bill Hickok (played by Howard Keel), and, as ever in the world of musical cinema, there's a happy ending.

The music in Calamity Jane is brilliant, from the opening Whip Crack Away, right through Windy City and Black Hills of Dakota. The best song, and probably the most famous, is Secret Love, sung amazingly by the one and only Doris Day.
