This is an amazing movie. The only reason the IMDb rating is 6.7 is because this TV movie is such a secret. A lot of people have never seen it or heard of it. Otherwise, it would garner a solid 8.5 or 9!
This is a 3 hour story that pulls true bits from history into a novel story about Calamity Jane, which she narrates thru letters written to a child she gave up for adoption. Angelica is absolutely convincing as Calamity Jane. Her accent & appearance and heart is fully in every moment of the film, as are the other players - and it is a 100% perfect feat of casting.
There are so much wonderful dialogue & so many quotes throughout the movie - within Calam's narration to the banter of Jim & Bartell to the in-charge Doozie, and the wise observations of No Ears.
It's full of humor and drama, and then there are the most bittersweet moments!
Highly recommended!
