Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
This 1953 musical is very much a vehicle for Doris Day, in the title role, as a wild cowgal who can outshoot and outsing 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 honor, 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. This won an Oscar for Best Song--'Secret Love,' by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Calamity is spunky and full of energy; the only problem is that she can't get Danny, the Lieutenant of her dreams, to realize that she's in love with him and return the feeling. Then one day, Katie Brown comes to town. She and ... Read More
Rating: - Terrific
Love this movie with great songs and actors. Always a feel good movie any time.
Rating: - A typical Doris Day vehicle
Doris Day was very good as a singer, dancer heroine. I loved Howard Keel as the baritone Wild Bill Hickok. Supporting cast was also great, but overall just pleasant and fun not great. Definitely a whole family movie.
