Review of Calamity Jane (1953) by Bosley Crowther for The New York Times — 23 Feb 1970
In Technicolor, it looks good enough to eat. But the voracity with which Miss Day has at it and wolfs it down is unnerving to see. David Butler, who directed, has wound her up tight and let her go. She does everything but hit the ceiling in lashing all over the screen.
This is not altogether entrancing.
