I'll be perfectly honest - Doris Day is not my favorite. I always end up rolling my eyes and shouting "C'mon now people!" at the television set (which, I've heard, is frowned upon in civilized societies). She's too perky and too sissy and she smiles too much. Blech! I thought I would like CALAMITY JANE (1953) but it was all about how that awesome woman, who rode with the best out west, really just wanted to wear a gingham dress and bring her man his slippers and pipe every night. Blech! That said, I am sure Doris Day was probably a very nice person.
