MY FAVORITE WESTERNS, THE 50'S
Annie Get Your Gun 1950
Betty Hutton Howard Keel
This is a musical about Annie Oakley. Though it is not the best of movies, I still enjoy it.
I added a picture of Barbara Stanwyk below from the movie Annie Oakley because I failed to add it to the other list and I really like this one too. It's from 1935 and is not a musical.
Doris Day Howard Keel
A musical about Calamity Jane and her rumored romance with Wild Bill Hickok
Shane 1953
Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin

Oklahoma! 1955

This is a musical about two cowboys trying to win the hearts of the women they love.
Giant 1956

There is alot going on in this one running 3 and a half hours. It's basically about money, love, and jealousy.
