comment
A 1953 musical film about the famous Wild West frontierswoman and gunslinger, Calamity Jane starred Doris Day in the title role and Howard Keel as Wild Bill Hickok. One of the film's songs, "Secret Love", became an Academy Award-winning hit for Day.Calamity Jane comes to the town of Deadwood, South Dakota one day. She decides to revitalize the local saloon by bringing them Chicago star Adelaide Adams. Unfortunately, she instead brings them Adelaide's maid, Katie Brown, whom she found trying on her costumes. Katie becomes a hit with everyone, including Jane's secret love, Lt. Daniel Gilmartin. A rivalry for his affections with Katie ensues.

comment
She Cleans Up Nicely: Everyone reacts this way to seeing Jane in a dress. At the dance, Bill takes Calamity's coat to show off her gown as he goes to hang it up. He takes a few steps before stopping then slowly turning around as Howard Keel provides one of the most epic open-jawed, wide-eyed looks of utter astonishment in film history.

Tomato in the Mirror: When Katie is practicing for a showgirl performance, she screams when she looks in the mirror and sees Calamity is at her door. Calamity readys her gun and looks over her shoulders, asking where are the varmints. Unaware that Katie actually was startled because of her.

Romantic Ride Sharing: After rescuing Danny, Calamity Jane indulges in this as she rides back to Deadwood with Danny. The clueless Danny asks Calamity Jane why couldn't she just take one of the Indian's ponies to ride solo with him. She claims it is much cozier this way, while taking the opportunity to wrap her arms around him and smile.

Tough Love: After he brings her into the woods after her confrontation with Katie, Bill reveals himself to be the one who shot the glass out of her hand and allowed Katie to take credit because he wanted to teach her a lesson that scaring Katie out of town won't bring Danny back. He then comforts a heartbroken Jane by revealing that he too had unrequited feelings for Katie, which led to their Love Epiphany.

comment
Battle Couple: Considering how Calamity Jane and Bill Hickok are skilled gunslingers and like trouble, you'd think they'd turn out to be this couple in an instant, but it's implied to be averted after they get together as both of them want to settle down and raise children. They've been close friends for quite some time, so it's not outlandish to assume that they played this straight at some point.
