Who doesnt like Calamity Jane? What a film. Doris Day is at her peak in this film as a tomboy cowboy caught in a little bit of a love struggle. The songs are extremely rememberable and will keep you singing all day long. The film is based in a small place called Deadwood where the Golden Garter (local bar / theartre) needs a ...

This film is a classic musical featuring Doris Day and Howard Keel, they play the characters of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok. The story follows Calamity, she dresses and acts like a tomboy and has no interest in girlie things such as dresses or perfume. All that is set to change... At the beginning of the film everyone ...

Hubby could not believe that I had never ever seen this film so to shut him up I got the DVD to watch with him. I didn't have expectations for it as I don't really like western type films but I was pleasantly surprised by this film. The film stars Doris Day who plays the role of Calamity Jane, a tom boy who is more than ... Read the complete review

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 a child musicals were always my favourite type of film, Calamity Jane was probably my absolute favourite. To this day I can't flick the channel over if it's on. Released in 1953 it stars the wonderful Doris Day in the lead role which was very loosely based on the real life Calamity Jane The plot revolves around the ... Read the complete review

I have never been much of a one for reviewing films but I have to admit I do love a great, feel good musical so I am working my way through my favourites - you have been warned! LOL! One of my real favourites is Calamity Jane starring Doris Day and Howard Keel which was made in 1953 so it is actually a year older than I ... Read the complete review

Once I had a secret love… now my love’s no secret any more! Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of my all time favourite movies. Great for a Sunday afternoon, a quiet evening in, a good sing along musical I put it on every chance I get… mostly when my chap is out of the house, as sadly, he is not a fan at all! The movie ...

This 1953 classic is timeless still great to watch even in this day and anyone who has seen it will know the words to at least one song. Doris Day stars as the frontier gal who is tryong to prove she's just as good as the men in her little town of Deadwood. While Howard Keel is Wild Bill Hickock who loves nothing more than to ...

I was waiting for this film to come on T.V. - I really wanted to see it again. When I opened my Christmas present from my son guess what it was? – yes, that’s right, the video of Calamity Jane (what a sweetie). I watched it almost immediately and Corrie (my son) watched it with me (and he enjoyed it). I ... Read the complete review

OK I can feel my credibility going down even as I type this, don't look at me like that, who was your favourite childhood actor? Well, mine was Miss Doris Day. Yes, yes laugh if you want to, but I love all those corny musicals, they don't get you thinking dark thoughts, the most they can do is get you singing the chorus, ... Read the complete review

Take me back to the Black Hills, oh well if not .......take me back to the innocent days when films like Calamity Jane were hot news, back to the days of the l950s and especially l953 when this film was made.
