Duration: 2 hours 11 minutes
Genre: Musical

Enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit with a classic, nostalgic and feel-good movie at The Courtyard. The lights will be dimmed and the sound a little quieter for a dementia friendly experience.

In the lonely Deadwood, Dakota, territory, sharpshooter Calamity Jane (Doris Day) falls for cavalry Lt. Danny Gilmartin (Philip Carey) when she is forced to rescue him from the Indians. Recognizing that the women-starved townsmen long for a “real” woman, Calamity journeys to Chicago to bring back famous singer Adelaid Adams, but mistakenly brings her maid Katie instead. Heartbroken when Danny falls for Katie, Calamity all but ignores her jovial friend Wild Bill Hickok (Howard Keel).
