The film was a great success, much to the chagrin of Jack Warner, the head of [http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=nl&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fnl.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWarner_Bros. Warner Bros.]. He had the rights of "Annie Get Your Gun" for Doris Day want to buy to launch her as a star. However, Warner was too late. He then decided another woman to step out of the Wild West in a musical. His script writers went under way and came up with a story around Calamity Jane and WIld Bill Hickok. Warner left the lead role specially for Doris Day writing. Day was since 1948 at Warner under contract and had already occurred in various film musicals by Warner as "Star elevator", "The West Point Story", "On Moonlight Bay", "By the Light of the Silvery Moon", and "Tea For Two". She had the image of the Virgin and fresh girl next door, the ideal daughter-in-law. Warner wanted her like to later become a topster and he did everything to ensure the success of the musical. He lent even Howard throat of MGM as day's opponent. Throat, a baritone, was the opponent of Betty Hutton in "Annie Get Your Gun". MGM that a bit with Throat in their stomachs were borrowed from him to Warner. However, little Doris Day was grateful for all the efforts of Warner. A year after"Calamity Jane" she extended her contract with Warner Bros not and went her own way. At the start of the production played Doris Day as they always did and she spoke her texts with her normal voice. When, however, the first rough recordings was showing saw Day itself as a rough woman dressed in animal skins and a goat leather pants. They got scared of her own voice, which sounded very girlish in this appearance.The next morning she practiced her voice lower to make it sound.
