Hey folks, just a quick note to announce the Doris Day Classic Movies page here on Crooner Culture!
Check it out, along with the Frank Sinatra Classic Movies, and you can buy the films to download to your PC (where you can burn them to DVD) or to your TiVo. You can rent some of them for less, but then you lose the ability to keep them.

One Amazon.Com reviewer said:
“…Made in 1953, when Doris Day was in her early 20’s, Calamity Jane made Doris a musical and theatre star. No question about it, Doris Day carries this movie on her slim feminine shoulders.
