Calamity Jane (1953) is a vibrant musical comedy centred on the wild and adventurous life of Martha "Calamity" Jane, played by Doris Day.

Set in the Old West, the film follows Calamity, a rough-and-tumble frontier woman known for her sharpshooting and fearless attitude, as she embarks on a mission to bring the famous actress, Adelaide Adams, to Deadwood to perform at the local saloon. However, complications arise when Calamity finds herself falling in love with a local man, Wild Bill Hickok, while struggling with her own insecurities. The film features catchy songs, humour, and Day's iconic performance as the strong-willed heroine.
