One of the best musicals ever! - By: , 02 Nov 2008 
My mum bought this film for me along with My Fair Lady & Seven Brides For Seven Brothers when i had been intrested in theatre & musicals for a while. Now, don't get me wrong the other two are amazing, but this is just top-notch! Along with The Sound Of Music, this is not only my favourite musical, but also my favourite film of alll time! It's just a classic, & they never go out of date. Even though i wasn't alive when this first came out, i love it alll the same. And Allyn McLerie gives a good performance as Katie Brown too. I watch this film so much. It's brill. And great fun for the whole family. Good to watch with grandparents as they will remember it from their childhood! A Must see!
My 12 year old loved it - By: DSF, 27 Jan 2008 I saw this years ago & forgot how brilliant it is in a feel good kind of way. As a former tom boy I can't help but relate to 'Clam' & was pleasently surprised that my daughter & her friend watched it alll the way through & she asked to watch it again the next day. Only downside is that I can't stop singing the tunes in my head & sometimes outload much to my family's embarressment.
i love doris day - By: Ms. F. I. Macdonald, 18 Jan 2008 
i do have an embarassing soft spot for doris day, she always cheers me up when i feel down & ive seen nearly alll her films, i think this is a great film to watch & sing along to , 'windy city' is my favourite song on this film, i always get up & sing along, i hope you do too!!!
A MUST!!!! - By: Hannah@Scotland, 04 Jan 2008 One of my favourite films EVER, if not my favourite. It compares the care-free western country life with the busy bustle of Chicago. The songs are great, the plot genius & the script hilarious. Add this to Doris Day & a touch of romance, it makes a film to watch again & again(I have watched it four times but could still watch it again & again!) A MUST!!!!!!!
If you dont like this - you need to be on the next stage coach out of town !? - By: Clinty, 14 Mar 2007 It is so hard to believe this film was made in 1953 !? It has a timeless quality & no matter how many times you watch it (thanks to fresh as a daisy Doris) this film never feels old.
The colour, life & sheer dynamism of Doris in the role takes your breath away - she IS Calamity Jane. Doris was born to play this title role. She is sassy, self-assured, cocky & confident. It almost seems a shame that she needs a man to make her 'complete', but the evolution of her character from Tom Boy to Beautiful Woman is legendary - who could fail to be stunned at the sight of Doris in that yellow dress, picking daffodils, singing 'My Secret Love' ?
Everything seems to take 2nd place to Doris in this film - she shines so brightly - but the music is catchy, melodic & fun ( I love that 'I got two wonderful arms, I got two wonderful lips...' drag act !?) & the story moves along nicely, with a heart-warmingly old-fashioned happy ending that will keep Mum, Gran AND the kids content for an afternoon of pure indulgence.
A classic. Must-have for any DVD Musical collection.
