Sheer Delight
06 December 2008
Bursting with rollicking songs, 'Calamity Jane' starts with a brisk opening number, "The Deadwood Stage" that sets the tone for the jaunty, ear-pleasing musical numbers to follow-with Doris Day and Howard Keel in top form making each song a sheer delight. Day has fun with her role as the tomboy heroine who mistakenly brings the wrong actress to Deadwood--but in true musical fashion, both women end up with a man of their own. The score is splendid with 'Secret Love' given a great interpretation by Day and the other songs are equally worth listening to: Higher Than A Hawk, The Black Hills of Dakota, A Woman's Touch and Windy City in which Day's singing and dancing talents are in high gear. Even though the story is nothing less than preposterous, the cast is so expert they make you forget the unrealities of the script. When Day and Keel lift their voices in song, they can do no wrong.
