    Doris Day wheels out Que Sera yet again in a comic western that will appeal to fans of romantic musicals. Of which I am not one.

    A great fun film/musical. Pure entertainment for the whole family. The songs played a great role in my youth (we were a bit of a sing along family) and having just watched this film again 30 years or so later, I still know all the words.
    Fantastic.

    Doris Day is on a role with this role. The songs, oh the songs. Howard Keel... The old west. The humour. The fun. The action. Oh how I love this film!

    Great movie for young girls to see. It left an impression on me for sure.

    Lots of thinly veiled references to homosexuality (supposedly) - don't know about that, but Doris and Howard really can belt out songs!

    a true calamity. very laughable indeed.
  • September 14, 2009
    Overbearingly colorful and peppy, as well as way overlong. This is the kind of musical that just makes me groan. Doris Day gives such an exaggerated performance it gets annoying. There are some good songs, and it is well produced, but it has a phony look too it. There was little ...( read more)attempt at period detail.

    I was raised on old musicals, so of course this is here.

    I don't care what anyone says, this is one of my all-time favourite films, and I love it as much now as I always have done, if not more =] I know it's a bit cheesy, but it's timeless and the songs are brilliant - I've known The Deadwood Stage for as long as I can remember!

    This is a cheerful western musical. Doris Day is fabulous!

    So how many of you girls out that have been given the nickname Calamity Jane at some point in your life? I've been called that so often, I don't understand why I wasn't christened Jane.
