Ahhh...TruColor, it gives a film an ethereal, hypnotic quality. Teal and orange are thrust to the forefront, like an old, faded postcard. This western is set after the death of Wild Bill Hickock in Dead Wood, South Dakota. Calamity Jane carries on as the proprietor of a casino and saloon. Ownership is called into question by a Texan lady who sends her lawyer to Dead Wood to find out the truth. Instead, he believes "Calam" and falls in love with her. Filled with endearing character performances, particularly Lasses White as Colorado Charley, and the usual quota of shootin' and brawlin'.
