October 11, 2009Betty Hutton is amazing as the rather simple-minded but talented Annie Oakley. It's a delightful 1h47min to spend watching this Michigan native spin an Ohio accent -- if you are indeed a fan of the musical genre. if you are not, this film is bad news for you, even though it does ... read more

September 2, 2009Betty Hutton is just a little too peppy in the title role, she becomes overbearing at times, too exaggerated. The entire film is overblown and extreme. There are a few good songs, the production sure had a lot of money poured into it, but it's just too much. The best scenes of th... read more

August 3, 2009pretty decent movie overall. doesn't quite carry the same charm as the play, but Betty Hutton plays a fantastic Annie and the rest of the cast is just as entertaining.

June 3, 2006Hmm... getting a musical solely on the fact that it's a musical certainly doesn't guarantee it'll be good. Irving Berlin's never been a favorite of mine, so very few of the songs really made me sit up and take notice. "I've Got the Sun the Morning," while ridiculously unnecessary... read more

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A loud and gaudy production of a hit play turned into a hit movie. Full Review

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
In this fun musical, Betty Hutton gives perhaps an overenergetic peformance in a part that was intended for Judy Garland before she was fired. Full Review

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Colorful, tuneful, brassy musical version of Berlin's hit Broadway show.

James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
The chemistry between Hutton and Keel is delightful and when his full-throttle baritone meets her rich alto in the duets, you'll be bewitched. Full Review
