Joel H I watched Calamity Jane shortly before seeing Annie Get Your Gun, so it's very difficult not to compare the two. After all, they're both about rootin' tootin' gunfighting gals from the old west who have a thing for a man played by Howard Keel. However, while Doris Day's Jane feels like a corny caricature, Betty Hutton's Annie is charmingly goofy. I also felt like the songs were stronger in this musical. The story starts off well enough, but the film kind of loses its way in the middle. Nevertheless, Annie Get Your Gun manages to hit the target in the end, and I can see why it's considered a classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Just seeing it now. Fantastic! Great story, direction, music and cast, especially Betty Hutton . Gives it her all.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member With big shoes to fill, following in the steps of Ethel Merman and Judy Garland, could little Betty Hutton be up to the role? You bet! Ms. Hutton pulls out all the stops and gives this role her heart and soul! Believable as uneducated hillbilly Annie Oakley, she morphs into a Bronco busting sharp shooter who travels with the Buffalo Bill Show! The love story between her and Butler, who Annie eventually marries, is central to the story as well. While the portrayal of Native Americans is rife with stereotype (hey it's the early 50s!) her love for her adopted Native American father is evident. This is a great musical with songs and lyrics by Irving Berlin! Check it out! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Annie Get Your Gun has always been and continues to be one of my personal favorite golden age of cinema musicals. Betty Hutton steals the show with an outstanding and unforgettable performance as Annie Oakley and the music is iconic. This movie holds up pretty well (despite some small political incorrectness by modern standards) and is well worth your time nearly 70 years later!
