 LULLABY OF BROADWAY + CALAMITY JANE - DVDs
There's a pseudo-indie movie whose title escapes me that thought it would get an easy laugh by having a pretentious film theory major call her paper "Doris Day as Feminist Warrior." The joke was bad not because it was too exaggerated--as it happens, it wasn't much of an exaggeration at all.
The test of the movies in her oeuvre is not who helmed it (she worked with some pretty flabby filmmakers), but how much it develops the Doris Day semiotic machine.
The star is posited as the eponymous Jane, a Dakota cowgirl whose familiarity with feminine ways is passing at best: she fights Indians, tells tall tales, and dresses in such a mannish way as to discourage the army lieutenant she fancies from returning the affection.

 "Calamity Jane" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Calamity (Day) dresses, talks and shoots like a man, but is smitten with Lt. Danny Gilmartin (Philip Carey); her close friend, Wild Bill (Howard Keel, TV's "Dallas") has a similar crush on singer/actress Katie Brown (Allyn Ann McLerie); but Danny and Katie are interested in each other.
Calamity is berated by Hickok for the "female thinking" behind her one-way attachment to Gilmartin.
Calam has a habit of gross exaggeration; in a song from the stage version which wasn't used in the film, the entire saloon sings of her: "She's not exactly lyin' but she's careless with the truth." Most of the negative behavior is not glorified.
