Rare T 09/10/2024 The perfect fusion resulting in what could be called a Western musical. It has a somewhat unpredictable plot, is funny, and includes some euphonious numbers. Doris Day showcases an extensive range of her capabilities from being tough to being soft, funny to serious, manly to vivacious, potty-mouthed to mellow singer… All alongside Allyn Ann McLerie who provides no less impressive of a performance, and so goes for Howard Keel. Calamity Jane is enjoyable from start to finish. See more Farah R @Farah 05/02/2023 Butler's whimsical musical of the famous Wild West heroine is elevated by Doris Day's captivating performance. She adds charm and humor to a well-crafted story and a beautiful voice to a fantastic soundtrack. Calamity Jane is one of the best classic musicals.

However, the characters are likeable, the story is enjoyable, and the music is occasionally memorable. This isn't one of my favorite musicals, but in the end I appreciated riding shotgun with Calamity. See more 02/03/2022 Fun. Doris Day is suburb as Calamity Jane. Quite a difference from beginning to end See more 01/03/2022 This is a Doris Day classic. Great songs. Lots of camp. See more 06/13/2021 A truly great, slapstick fun, romantic comedy musical, which actually gets better in repeat views in my opinion. An opinion I arrived at because my father, who has dementia, loves watching it over and over gain. My favorite line from the Doris Day Calamity Jane..."Come to think of it, that ain't so funny." My favorite quote from the real Calamity Jane..."I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should go ahead and be one." PS I hate reviewers who go out of their way to find fault simply because it is not the type of movie they would like it to be, rather than on what it is is or was meant be. Doris Day deliberately and I say brilliantly, exaggerates everything about her character (who was, after all, a truly larger than life character in real life) for comedic effect, but switches as needed to serious, when needed, to tug at the viewers heart strings. Likewise some idiot gave it no stars because of the comedic (almost F-Troop worthy) Cowboys vs Indians treatment of some hostile Indians from a different era 70 years ago, yet fails to mention the movie was happy to show no ill will from the townsfolk directed at Indians travelling in a stage coach with 'Frances' or in a VIP box at the theatre with Wild Bill Hickock.
