"A tomboy lady gunslinger, in order to win the affections of a handsome Army lieutenant, decides to give up her rough ways and turn herself into a housekeeper. There is a lot of energy in the musical numbers and a lot of wit in the dialogue, but most importantly, it is Doris Day that shines with one of her most memorable and androgynous performances as the title character."
