But the army lieutenant she favors 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. 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.Running Time: 101 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC. UPC: 012569705982 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 Average Rating:
 Rating: - Calamity Janearrived in a timely fashion, DVD had no blips in it. Satisfied. Thank you Rating: - FUN for the whole family!Doris Day at her rip-roaring best! Great songs, great dance routines and just a feel-good movie. It takes liberties with the actual events, but who cares? This turns out swell in the end. Rating:  - Classic ComedyIf you are hungry for humor, music and dance, Calamity Jane will feed that yearning. Doris Day and Howard Keel will blow your socks off in a duet about the black hills of Dakota. You will giggle picking out all the gymnastics in the many dance numbers. How many times does Doris Day slide in and out of a stagecoach window? I definitely recommend this DVD for your viewing pleasure. Rating: - One of the bestCalamaity Jane is a fun way to spend an hour and a half if you can forget your "enlightened" attitudes of the modern era. Howard Keel as Wild Bill Hickock shows he can act as well as he can sing, and that is saying a lot. If you just watch him and his reactions to whatever is going on, or who is speaking, you will appreciate his ability to throw himself into a role. Doris Day as Calamity might have been able to look worse in the rough and ready buckskin outfits, but it is hard to ...

Typical of many early movies, the effects are somewhat lacking but overall a very enjoyable story. |
