Product Description

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. Calamity Jane won an Oscar for Best Song--"Secret Love", by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Synopsis
Doris Day stars in the title role and Howard Keel plays 'Wild Bill' Hickok in this musical extravaganza about the legendary sharp-shooter. Includes the Oscar-winning song 'Secret Love', plus 'A Woman's Touch', 'The Deadwood Stage', 'Just Blew In From The Windy City' and more. Music and lyrics by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster.
