Review

 

The Deadwood Stage is comin' to town, bringing Doris Day and Howard Keel to fuss, feud and fall in love as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok in this entertainment from the golden age of movie musicals. At first curvaceous Calamity is too durned busy fighting Indians and cracking a bullwhip to pay much mind to such girlie what-alls as dresses and perfume. And Wild Bill is too danged busy wooing a dainty chanteuse to give a hoot about a hotheaded tomboy.

But things change in a rootin', tootin' big way, with love and romance just down the trail. There are wide-open Technicolor Western spaces, lots of high-stepping terpsichory and a hummable humdinger of a score by Academy Award winning songwriters Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, who won an Oscar for the classic ballad (and '50's mega hit) 'Secret Love'.

I love this movie, one of the best musicals I have ever seen.
Im only in my 20s and ive watched this movie every year of my life from when I was 6 years old.
The songs in it are brilliant and you just cant help singing along to it.
DORIS DAY IS AMAZING.

A first-class musical carried almost entirely by Doris Day in the title role. Don't expect a credible plot (does any good musical have one?). Her partner, Wild Bill Hicock, played by Howard Keel, has an excellent voice but has difficulty hitting the notes at times. This may be personal, but there is something about Keel that has always grated on me, but his arrogance suits his role in this film.

Well worth the $$$, €€€ or £££!
