Calamity Jane is a "Wild West"-themed film that explores a romance between Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok in the American Old West. The film starred Doris Day as the title character and Howard Keel as Hickcok.

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.
