CALAMITY JANE
"CALAMITY JANE" (1953)
. "Calamity Jane is an American Technicolor Western musical film starring her and Howard Keel. It was directed by David Butler. The musical numbers were staged and directed by Jack Donohue, who a year later would direct the Day musical, Lucky Me (1954). The movie was devised by Warner Bros. in response to the success of the 1950 film "Annie Get Your Gun." It won the Academy Award for "Best Original Song" for "Secret Love" (Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster), which earned the movie a spot in the schedule. It was also Oscar-nominated for "Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture" (Ray Heindorf) and "Best Sound, Recording" (William A. Mueller). The songs and screenplay would form the basis of a 1961 stage musical of the same name."
SYNOPSIS: "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)."
