#1 Cheap Annie Get Your Gun Reviews

My first introduction to ANNIE GET YOUR GUN was in the mid fifties. It was a television production and starred Mary Martin and John Raitt. I was very young and could not remember much of the story but enjoyed the music very much. Like many other baby boomers, I remember Ethel Merman singing THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS. However, being a kid from a small town in Iowa, I never had the opportunity to see her play the part of Annie Oakley. It was a delight to view this motion picture production because all of the Irving Berlin songs were familiar (THEY SAY IT'S WONDERFUL, ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY, etc.) and I could now hear them in context with the story. Although I am not too familiar with Betty Hutton's work, I enjoyed her performance which was a little over-the-top but appropriate for the period and this film adaptation. Howard Keel's voice is fantastic as usual. Some viewers could be put off by the portrayal of the Native Americans in this film (think of the indians in Mary Martin's Peter Pan, "Ugh!") but again it was all in fun. Even the Anglo leads are characatures of real people. The print quality and color are good and the sound acceptable for a film of this age. Regarding extras, it was interesting to see the footage of Judy Garland in the role of Annie Oakley as well as the scenes cut from the Hutton version. All in all, it's a very entertaining time, so if you enjoy classic film musicals or Broadway shows, buy this DVD, pop it into your player, lower the lights and have a "heck of a good time!".

arrived in very good condition. Quality of the unit was much much better than I expected. It is a reproduction of a very old movie, but it was as clear as the original. Very pleased
