      Movie Info

      In the lonely Deadwood, Dakota, territory, sharpshooter Calamity Jane (Doris Day) falls for cavalry Lt. Danny Gilmartin (Philip Carey) when she is forced to rescue him from the Indians. Recognizing that the women-starved townsmen long for a "real" woman, Calamity journeys to Chicago to bring back famous singer Adelaid Adams, but mistakenly brings her maid Katie instead. Heartbroken when Danny falls for Katie, Calamity all but ignores her jovial friend Wild Bill Hickok (Howard Keel).

      • May 15, 2019
        There's no subterfuge here: this is a Doris Day musical, plain and simple, and she's in practically every scene as a personification of wild and wooly (but not too wild...it was made in the 50's after all). After killin' Injuns - which, honest to goodness, really is a plot point - what she really wants is what every girl is told she wants: a husband, two car garage - with two cars in it, kids, and a yard with a white picket fence. Only she's so wild and wooly that no man can stand in her presence long. What's a girl to do? Howard Keel plays Wild Bill Hickok and barely gets in a song or two as the primary love interest. Mild musical Western fun here, with Day contributing 110%.

        Doris Day wheels out Que Sera yet again in a comic western that will appeal to fans of romantic musicals. Of which I am not one.
