Calamity!!!!!!!


Doris Day plays the historic Calamity Jane. Howard Keel (who played Adam in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers) stars as her love interest, Wild Bill Hickok.

Talk about love triangles!!!----or actually a love square. As soon as Katie Brown (Allyn McLerie), comes into town at first masquerading as the gorgeous show girl, Adelaid Adams, the whole town of Deadwood is in an uproar. Once her true identity is known, Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin (who "calam" originally is infatuated with) and Bill Hickok beat each other up trying to win Katie's affections. So Calam thinks she loves Danny, who loves Katie, who loves Danny back, while bill also believes he is in love with Katie....Confusing isn't it? HAHA

Calam catches Katie and Danny together and is outraged. She tells Katie to get out of town and is confronted by Bill. The two realize their love for each other.


The next day, Calam heads into town to tell Katie she and Bill are getting married and to ask for forgiveness. But Katie has already left town. Calam races after the stagecoach on her horse and finally catches up with her. All is cleared up and Calam and Bill are married and Katie and Danny are as well.


All in all, it's a great film and has some GREAT songs, like "Higher than a Hawk" and "Secret Love," sung by Keel and Day, respectively. It also has some great humor that you just can't miss!!!!


God Bless 'Till I get back from Beeton-ton!!!
