The Windy City from Calamity Jane (1953)
Ойын-сауық
Calamity Jane (Doris Day) sings "The Windy City" to her comrades upon her return from Chicago, where she had gone to entice the actress Adelaide Adams to perform at the local theatre. It's a beautiful number that reveals both her pride for Deadwood City and its people, as well as how sheltered she has been in the comfort of her little town. Coming down from a realization of how her masculine behaviour is perceived by other people, and how other women act and behave in other places, she may also be trying make a defensive claim about who and what she is.
Lyrics:
I just blew in from the Windy City
The Windy City is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got, no sirree
They've got shacks up to seven stories
Never see any Morning Glory's
But a step from our doorway...
We got 'em for free!
They've got those minstrel shows,
Purty ladies in the big chapeaux
Private lawns, public parks...
For the sake of civic virtue,
They've got fountains there that squirt you!
I just blew in from the Windy City
The Windy City is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got
I'm tellin' ya, boys...
We got more life in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois!
On the street was a dancing fellar
All dressed up in a suit of yellar
And the dance that he did there
Went something like this:
[tap dances]
You should-a seen me a-wind'er shoppin'
A-wind'er shoppin' with eyes a-poppin'
At the sights that you see there, yes sirree
Press a bell and a moment later,
Up you go in an elevator
Just as fast as a polecat a-climbin' a tree
I heard claim hundreds came
To a thing they call a baseball game
Cigar stores, revolving doors
Men wear sideburns, and they ought'er
'Cause a haircut costs a quarter!
I just blew in from the Windy City
The Windy City is mighty purty
But they ain't got what we got.
I'm tellin' ya, boys
I ain't a-swappin' half of Deadwood
For the whole of Illinois

She retired in Carmel, CA where she bought a cute hotel only to allow pets in as other hotels in town were not allowing pets in. She represented the best in our American culture.

I knew she broke both her legs badly, and wasn't able to walk for 3years, which meant she couldn't carry on her dream as a professional dancer. And during them 3years instead listened to a lot of records and started singing instead. But I didn't know it was a train that caused her injuries, crazy.

Doris Day besides being a singer was an accomplished actress and dancer, she was magical
The athletic ability that Doris Days shows throughout this entire scene is nothing short of incredible!! Lifting herself up by just her leg muscles, not once, not twice, but three times.. well, it proves she was in tip-top condition during filming! Not to mention her voice was in its prime as well !

I still think it's one of the most wonderfully-effervescent and life-affirming scenes Hollywood ever filmed. Ms Day is one of the things that will always make me have faith in America.
this has got to be my favourite doris day film as no matter how many times i see it i never get bored of watching it lol
"Men wear sideburns and they oughter, coz' a haircut cost a quar-tur!" One of my fave movie musical lines EVER! Love this movie so much.
How can anyone down vote this. Its almost perfect
My very favourite Calamity Jane song.
Every move, every turn, every line, word and facial expression is simply perfect. Pure genius.
One of my favorite movies 🎥 I still watch.
So much talent in one person, jeez. I really didn't appreciate just how brilliant she is when I watched this as a kid!
One Of The Top FIVE MUSICALS Of All Time. A Very Impressive performance by the 31 year old Doris Day.
She utilized every inch of that set. Brilliant.
Rest in peace Doris. Thanks for the memories. You were awesome.

Doris Day was such a fantastic dancer! I've long been a fan of hers but somehow never saw this film until recently. I can't get over how she jumps up and down on the bar and at 2:16 she stands up from a cross-legged sitting position with no assistance! That's strength and talent! :)

I loved Doris Day in this. My all time favourite!
This woman is literally my IDOL, she has been since my Nanna showed me Calamity Jane when I was about 8 years old. Since then, I have all her albums, movies. She's soooo talented, and she's still going strong looking after animals and running a sanctuary, I believe she's 96 soon. Xxx
Talk about a talent! She sings like a bird, she dances like Fred Astaire. and she lights up the screen. It was always a comfort to me to know that she was out there for real, not just in her pictures. It gives me a pain in my heart to think of her gone. Where ever you are Doris, thanks!
My favorite movie of all times...unbelievable
How marvellous that Doris puts so much energy and charm into her film roles. This routine was flawless despite its undoubted difficulties. So athletic and seamless. Nobody comes near her commitment. Maybe gone but certainly not forgotten. RIP dear Doris.
my grandma brought my dad to this film when my dad was little (my grandma was born in 1953) and my dad and grandma brought it to me and I’ve been watching it all my life, I am 15 turning 16, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face and make me so energetic. I love it so much
Alway remembered this movie from a kid...loved it! . Doris Day was exceptional, Original, funny, talented, & gorgeous...... The first girl power ambassador Rip Doris Day....... We salute you. X
IN LOYING MEMORY OF MAM DAD////AND DORIS DAY//////
Just glorious Doris - who can compare to her ? She throws herself into all that she does with such gusto and bravura. Quite rightly, she is a legend.
The sheer amount of energy,💥vibrancy, 🌪electricity,⚡️and STAR POWER 💫⭐️🌟exuding from this woman during this number is nothing short of phenomenal!! She sucks you in right away and keeps you right where she wants you (mesmerized) the whole time... 😍👍💯
i remember watching this with my dad when i was younger, and i just grew up loving it. i wish more people knew about it. true perfection.
SHE IS IT! THE LIVING END! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER, LOVELY DORIS DAY! I ADORE HER TO THEE MAX!
A crystal clear voice, a smile as wide as Dakota!!it can only be the wonderful Doris Day..the greatest brightest star of all..god bless you xxxx

Her memory will live on forever. Such a funny witty woman. With such a beautiful smile that wud light up a room. I have got all of the film's she made with another great actor and close friend of hers rock hudsaob. 5hem two together were soooo funny. You can't beat the oldies but goodies !!!+!
I was just a kid when I seen this movie, and fell for Doris right away, what a talent she was then and now!

This was always one of my favorites. Rest in peace Doris Day.
Love her. Rest in peace
She is incomparable as Calamity and i can't think of anyone who could get anywhere near her level. As a direct contrast she was magnificent in "Love Me or Leave Me" opposite the great James Cagney.
RIP Calam....this is one of my favourite musicals and im not ashamed to say so-great songs and Doris Day shows how its meant to be done..what a talent from the golden age.
I love how she (quite literally) sings the praises of Chigawgi but is then like “but we’re better” shes so loyal ❤

Thank goodness she left us with such an amazing legacy.
Used to watch this as a kid every time I went to my aunt and uncle’s house. Pure gold. She was in her own world when acting...not afraid to really become the character she was playing. It was almost difficult to remember that she wasn’t the character she was playing. A sign of a truly gifted actress.
Doris day may be gone but not forgotten . beautiful looking women and very talented r.l.p.
She was just amazing. Growing up it was just Doris Day singer movie star but later in life I became all of a sudden tuned in to the fact that she was a great comedienne dancer. knock out of a figure. Very stylish incrediable clothes. Singer we know that already and the most genuine smile in movie history. Thank you Ms. Day
This is by far the best western/cowboy film I have ever seen! Doris Day ur sensational in this!!

I saw this film when I was seven tears old. I made my parents sit through it twice. (you could do that back in the day) My little seven-year-old mind was blown! Doris was pure magic! RIP, Doris! Thanks for all the joy you've created.
What an incredible talent!! RIP Doris Day
Doris is just so cute, talented and energetic - with that great voice yet - that watching her in this is magentic entertainment!!!!
Great song from a fantastic movie Doris Day is superb as Calamity Jane. Her singing and acting is great. It's a movie I've loved watching time and time again.
My favourite film of all time. I’m 15 years old and I grew up watching this film, my dad also grew up watching it. We watch it all the time and know all the words to every song. I’m so blessed to of seen this film :)
That would have been amazing to see that being filmed, how can you not love Doris Day? Her energy and character is amazing
I always come back to see this every once in a while. very entertaining and great talent!
She was my earth angel and the sight of her on tv saved my life several times. Her honesty and humility shown through in everything she did. RIP Doris my earth angel.
