I'm an Indian too

From misogyny to racism -  "I'm an Indian too" began life as a showtune in Irving Berlin's musical "Annie Get Your Gun". It ended up sparking protests, with Native Americans picketing outside theatres. I wish I could embed a clip from the film but the only site that has it is TCM and they won't let me, so if you want to see Betty Hutton getting savage with the Sioux then follow this link. 

The song has an impressive gay pedigree - it was original written for Ethel Merman, Judy Garland recorded it for the film version shortly before she was fired from the starring role (there's a clip of her performance here) and mommie dearest Debbie Reynolds  performed it in a 1970's revival. 

Anyhow here's Don Armando's weird 70's mutant disco version, featuring a sexier squaw than poor old Ethel.

Whip crack away!

A Doris Day film is always a welcome event; not only does it fill the cinema with customers, it fills the air with song. In this happy instance we are treated to a lively wild west musical shivaree, based on the experiences of that fabulous individualist Calamity Jane. Matching Doris' inimitable musical stylings is the virile voice of her partner, Howard Keel. His rich baritone is a splendid foil for Doris' more intimate singing. Together they present a most attractive pairing, both visually and vocally.

At the start of the film Calamity is a cross dressing savage who knows nothing about pretty things. Then actress Katie Brown comes to live in her cabin and teaches her about chintz and gingham, Calamity can now embrace her femininity. Her independence tamed, Calamity gets herself a man and the film ends happily with a double marraige.
