Talk:Calamity Jane (film)

What is this, really?
Does the TW episode actually define whether the character is talking about the Broadway play or the movie? Does it even mention the words "Calamity Jane" specifically? Near as I can figure, according to the real world, the character would've been acquainted with the song she sung because the movie soundtrack was released in 1953, the same year from which she came. Any Torchwood fans out there wanna take a look at the episode and define exactly what it says? Also, the SJA reference is not one to the play, but to the real life person. At some point a new article needs to be created to cover the person, but I don't want to proceed without knowing whether TW is talking about the play or the movie.

 * I'm on my rewatch of 2005 Who and Torchwood any week now, so I can double check then, but I'm pretty sure it is mentioned by name and simply as Emma and her friend having watched "Calamity Jane" without specifying the medium. Not entirely sure in context why the stage musical is mentioned at all in the behind the scenes. -- Tybort (talk page) 08:44, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll rewatch that episode later, but, from memory, I believe the first reference was in the context of her talking about loving going to the cinemas. Not sure, though... I'll rewatch it in the next days, and report back here. --SOTO ☎ 08:53, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * I remembered this, and decided to rewatch and skip to the part where it's mentioned. Exact words:
 * (as she buys a DVD, obviously a musical)
 * Ianto: So you like musicals?
 * Emma: My best friend Kate and I saw Calamity Jane five times. I've got the LP.
 * This is obviously the movie she's talking about. No doubt about it. The context, the "five times" that they saw it and the that she has all point to it being a film. Behind the scenes, it was probably mentioned because of the release the same year she left. --SOTO ☎ 01:02, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, so it's definitely the film. LPs were not released for stage musicals. The movie was also released a mere month and a half before her transfer to 2008, which would explain why it's so fresh in her mind and why she's so obsessed with it. It would definitely have been the "in" film at the time.

So. We've established that it's the film. At this point, we should go with Czech's proposition from three and a half years ago: split the article up into the individual and the film. So Calamity Jane and Calamity Jane (film), probably. --SOTO ☎ 15:42, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
