TEA FOR TWO ('50) was a big film for Doris Day. It was the first film in which she would receive top billing and it was also the first film in which she would dance. "God, was it difficult! I never worked harder at anything than I did at the dances in my films," she said. The hard work paid off. Day's dancing with Gene Nelson was praised by critics and audiences alike. See this charming film tonight at 11:45pm ET as we salute Star of the Month Doris Day. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM

In 1953, Doris Day starred in Calamity Jane. Tomboyish and fiercely independent, she challenged stereotypes about what a woman should be in 1950s America. | BBC iPlayer
