IMDb 8.0

Skip it unless you're a devoted Doris Day completist or have a soft spot for campy '50s Westerns—this TV-movie adaptation of a stage show feels thin and dated, even by the standards of its own era. The plot is flimsy, the charm is manufactured, and there are way better musicals and Westerns competing for your attention tonight.

Plot

A Wild West cow town is starving for entertainment and it falls upon Calamity Jane, a rowdy, gun-toting tomboy, to go to Chicago to bring back a famed stage actress. She brings instead the star's maid, who settles in the town, but Jane's "Secret Love" falls for her. This television special was based on a stage adaptation of the film that was playing regional circuits at the time it aired.
