CALAMITY JANE.

(1953 - d. David Butler) Trailer p.c. Warner Bros, 1.p. Doris Day, Howard Keel, Allyn McLerie, Phil Carey.

Much requested ( so I'm told ) Doris Day trailer that includes brief snatches of the hit song "Secret Love", also "Black Hills Of Dakota", "Windy City" and "The Deadwood Stage".

This was one of Warner's big hits of the early 1950', and was one of the titles Derek Simmonds at one time was thinking of doing as a 2 reeler.

There is quite a lot packed into this short trailer, and it certainly capture the flavour of the film - it brought back memory's for me, having projected it many times in the cinema.

The colour is reasonable, as is the definition and sound.

Derann imported a 2 reel version of Calamity Jane, which was more of a promotional reel. A deal with Warner in the late eighties saw the release of the complete feature.
