The songs are catchy and fun (well sung by Doris Day). It's a great movie!

The tunes are gold, and as Jane approaches a local creek, resplendent in her gorgeous yellow gown, we get one of the most famous visual gags in the history of the musical.

[Doris Day is] dizzyingly kinetic...
Entertainment Weekly
Doris Day and Howard Keel in a Wild West musical comedy that is only phonily western, hardly ever comical, and only mildly musical.

Maclean's Magazine
Doris Day works very, very hard at being Calamity and is hardly realistic at all.

Rating: 3/5 --
Bold, camp and a clear indicator of cinema's lineage to theatre and a vaudeville tradition.

Rating: 4/5 --
Boisterous fun, with Day's performance - as the song goes - as busy as a fizzy sarsaparilla.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Doris Day and Howard Keel fuss, feud and fall in love as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok in this entertainment mother lode. At first curvaceous Calamity is too durned busy fighting Indians and cracking a bullwhip to pay mind to such girlie what-alls as dresses and perfume. And Wild Bill is too danged busy wooing a dainty chanteuse (Allyn McLerie) to give a hoot about a hot-headed tomboy. But things change in a rootin',tootin' big way when each becomes love's target. There are wide-open Technicolor Western spaces, lots of high-stepping dances and a hummable humdinger of a score by Academy Award-winning songwriters Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, who took their first Oscar for the classic ballad (and '50s megahit) "Secret Love".
Product Description:
Doris Day is great as the famous cowgirl in this musical extravaganza about the legendary female sharpshooter and her up-and-down romance with Wild Bill Hickok. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Sound Recording. Academy Awards: Best Song ("Secret Love").
