- Synopsis:
Betty Hutton (Annie Oakley) and Howard Keel (Frank Butler) star in this sharpshootin' funfest based on the 1,147-performance Broadway smash boasting Irving Berlin's beloved score, including Doin' What Comes Natur'lly, I Got the Sun in the Morning and the anthemic There's No Business like Show Business. As produced by Arthur Freed, directed by George Sidney and seen and heard in a new digital transfer from restored elements. This lavish, spirited production showcases songs and performances with bull's-eye precision, earning an Oscar for adaptation scoring. The story is brawling boy-meets-girl-meets-buckshot rivalry. But love finally triumphs when Annie proves that, yes, you can get a man with a gun! - Actors:

“I’d love to shoot all of ya.” - Annie Get Your Gun review by LJ
I enjoyed this musical comedy, mainly thanks to Hutton’s exuberance, the first time, but a second viewing revealed that there is almost no plot, the romance is toxic, it’s racist, most of the songs are dull and there are no dance numbers and frankly Hutton’s clowning prevents Annie from ever feeling like a real person.

An absolute treat. - Annie Get Your Gun review by DW
A real pleasure to see this film again, apparently for the first time since 1973. The quality of picture and sound is just wonderful as a result of a very satisfactory restoration job and this in turn leads to a most pleasurable viewing. If you like big, bold musicals that is and, obviously, I do.
Irving Berlin's songs retain their vitality and tunefulness and the performances are top notch, especially with Betty Hutton and Howard Keel at their very best. There are a few uncomfortable moments of misogyny and racism here and there, very much of it's time one has to recognise. Viewers will have to decide for themselves, I guess.
