- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who's survived an office job and anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 8 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Calamity Jane is a tough and rowdy woman in the old West who owns a saloon and gambling joint (and runs a cattle rustling operation as a sideline). One day she hires a pretty but naive young woman to work as a saloon girl, and finds that the girl is bringing out the maternal instincts she never knew she had. Those instincts are put to the test when a US army cavalry troop arrives to clean up the town and the girl and the young lieutenant in charge of the troop fall in love, and Calamity Jane may know something about the lieutenant that the girl doesn't.
