But the army lieutenant she favors doesn’t really appreciate her finer qualities. One of Jane’s boasts brings her to Chicago to recruit an actress for the Golden Garter stage. Arrived, the lady in question appears (at first) to be a more feminine rival for the favors of Jane’s male friends…including her friendly enemy Wild Bill Hickock.
Plot: Sharpshooter Calamity Jane takes it upon herself to recruit a famous actress and bring her back to the local saloon, but jealousy soon gets in the way.

It Happened to Jane
Very loosely based on the life of the titular Wild West figure, this Hollywood musical tracks the experiences of the tomboyish gunslinger who strikes up a close friendship with a second-rate actress. As the two women eventually decide to live together, it is easy to appreciate why ‘Calamity Jane’ has been cited as a film with an overt gay subtext over the years; there is also lead actress Doris Day dressing and talking like a man, even commenting how pretty co-star Allyn Ann McLerie is when they first meet. This is, however, a film that can be thoroughly enjoyed for the surface story, subtext aside. Day is a revelation in the title role, a true transformation when one considers the housewife and Rock Hudson movie roles that she is best known for. It is a very energetic performance too as Day sings, dances, talks tough and wrestles with her own sense of identity as she takes McLerie’s advice of how to act more feminine to attract a man. The film occasionally gets lost in mixed messages along these lines (celebrating her individuality plus applauding her desire to conform), but with memorable songs, well-timed comic relief and a solid supporting cast, it remains a delightful experience overall. Those keen on an accurate portrait of the real Calamity Jane would be best served to look elsewhere, but anyone after merely a fun musical or lighthearted western could scarcely go wrong here.
