Doris Day sings "Secret Love" from "Calamity Jane" (1953)

Doris Day made famous Oscar winning song "Secret Love" in the film "Calamity Jane." This incredibly gifted actress and singer ushered in the award for "Best Original Song" in the 1953 Academy Awards.

[@reunreid7237]

This song makes me cry. My mom would sing this song every year it came on when I was a child. Now my mother has dementia and I sing it to her and watch her smile so much 💕

[@johndaarteest]

It was my mothers favorite also so everytime I hear this it brings back happy memories.

[@davidcoleman3661]

Music and dancing are great mood changers for loved ones suffering from dementia. I pay extra for KZbin premium so my 96 year old mum can watch great classics like this with no ads interrupting them. She loves in particular Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly dancing to the music of The Babbit and Bromide. I must say I’ve grown quite fond of the music and stars from this era too.

[@lisaware4240]

Me too. Over the rainbow. Loves a many splendid thing.😢❤

[@Steve52344]

Your comment touched me.

[@lisaware4240]

I worked with infants before I retired. I would sing them asleep like I did my children. We were blessed to have such lovely memories. Be well

[@willowway4104]

Some songs make a lasting impression, as in. I miss you, Doris Day. Listening in March, 2024 ❤❤❤

[@181251]

Look at her eyes when she sings this. She really portrays a woman in love. Great song, great performance.

[@bb3ca201]

RIP - saw this movie with my parents when 5. Now 71 - have NEVER forgotten Secret Love or that scene. 5 - what movies today can you take a 5 year old to, and he and his parents BOTH enjoy!? One of the best ever. A true star - they don't make 'em like that anymore.

[@smitajky]

You are right. When I was 5 my parents took me to see Jerome jerome's "three men in a boat". Again find me anything today that is simply good plain fun.

[@clerkvestatwp2948]

I also saw this when I was 5 years old, and I sang the song over and over and over....... Hearing it once, I remembered all the words. And I still do.

[@ockmf]

My mom took me to see this movie when i was young. And the one thing i remember was Doris Day singing Secret Love. When i hear that, i miss my mom.. I'm 75.

[@chrism2966]

I was besotted with Doris Day as a child and, now a thousand years later, I still am. Beautiful, dignified, classy and such a voice. I can never choose the very best female singer between Doris Day, Barbra Streisand or Celine Dion. All fabulous.

[@user-ts9ug9fu5d]

Don't forget Dplly Parton

Doris said that of all the films she made "Calamity Jane'' was her favorite.

How can 71 people not like this? One of my favorite musicals...sigh...wish they made things like this now...May she rest in peace.

that might be due to the gay connotations that the scene supposedly represented. This was what the Celiloid Closet an otherwise, stupid documentary tried to claim a couple of decades ago.

The movie Calamity Jane has to be seen to believe how versatile her emotional and physical acting is. They say the movie stars aren't like they used to be. I'll say!

[@garrywood8836]

Yeah she was 31 when she did calamity jane..probably her finest performance.

[@edwardcorrellg4783]

I watched CALAMITY JANE for the umpty-dozenth time and saw something I'd never noticed before. When filming, she's not just standing there waiting for the other actor to finish his lines so she can say hers. No, watch how her face changes expression as the other actor speaks. She is actually LISTENING from within her character, and then REACTING AS the character, not just reciting her lines as an ''actress'' outside the character. I was stunned to realize this! No wonder Rock Hudson called her ''a one-woman actors' studio.''

I fell in love with Doris Day that night and I left remembering every word of her songs. I've read where she not only enjoyed that role the most but if you wanted to know what she was really like in her private life you can just watch Calamity! God bless her.

So sad that a favorite childhood icon of mine is gone. I was always a fan from knee high to now at age 60. Loved to hear Doris Day sing and loved the hilarious movie "Calamity Jane" among the many movies she did. Great memories and thankful for the music and the laughter she left us and sadly one of the biggest voices for animal rights is gone. She lived 97 years but i'm sure she was always young at heart. Rest in Heaven Doris...your work on earth is through. 💗
