The movie, released in 1953, has many characteristics of other musicals of the same era. It includes songs such as The Deadwood Stage, My Heart is Higher than a Hawk, I Can do Without You, It's Harry I'm Planning to Marry, and Secret Love, which topped the musical charts at number one.
Though the film portrays Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickock as lovers, it is unclear whether that was the case in real life. The pair were friends, but many historians have disputed Calamity Jane's claims that she and Hickock were romantically involved.
CalamityJane was a woman ahead of the time; however, she had many unfortunate faults.
CalamityJane, when not on the open road, could be found at the local saloons drinking, chewing tobacco, and being the boisterous life of the party.
CalamityJane Herself added to the speculation by telling stories of a romance with him, and moments before her death she allegedly requested to be buried next to Wild Bill.
