Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1953 musical is very much a vehicle for Doris Day, in the title role, as a wild cowgal who can out-shoot and out-sing 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 honour, 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. ICalamity Jane/I won an Oscar for Best Song--"Secret Love", by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster. I--Rochelle O'Gorman/I

Calamity Jane
It was so alive and kept me singing along and Doris Days agility on screen was fantastic. Great family entertainment I don't think it will ever lose its abilty to keep you entertained.

Great film
This is one of the great modern day film musicals. A good cast, great songs, that will last the test of time. This film and it's music was one of the many money grossing films to come out of the fifties, an era the likes of which we may never see again. They don't make them like this anymore. Maw.

One of the best musicals ever!
My mum bought this film for me along with My Fair Lady and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers when i had been intrested in theatre and musicals for a while. Now, don't get me wrong the other two are amazing, but this is just top-notch! Along with The Sound Of Music, this is not only my favourite musical, but also my favourite film of all time! It's just a classic, and they never go out of date. Even though i wasn't alive when this first came out, i love it all the same. And Allyn McLerie gives a good performance as Katie Brown too. I watch this film so much. It's brill. And great fun for the whole family. Good to watch with grandparents as they will remember it from their childhood! A Must see!

My 12 year old loved it
I saw this years ago and forgot how brilliant it is in a feel good kind of way. As a former tom boy I can't help but relate to 'Clam' and was pleasently surprised that my daughter and her friend watched it all the way through and she asked to watch it again the next day. Only downside is that I can't stop singing the tunes in my head and sometimes outload much to my family's embarressment.

i love doris day
i do have an embarassing soft spot for doris day, she always cheers me up when i feel down and ive seen nearly all her films, i think this is a great film to watch and sing along to , 'windy city' is my favourite song on this film, i always get up and sing along, i hope you do too!!!
