Annie Get Your Gun

Length: 107 Minutes

I have definitely seen this film. I had a high school love affair with this film. I think that the library probably believed I owned the film and simply let it spend the night every three weeks.

Is it loyal to the book? No book. But history... ahem. Oh boy, this seemed like a love story until I researched the living daylights out of Annie Oakley. The Frank in this film is a total jerk compared to the real Frank, who is one of my top ten romantic historic gentlemen.

Best character: Not Frank. Though I do love me some Howard Keel. Annie comes off as just a little too much of a 'hick'. Well shoot. I might need to rewatch.

But is it art? Yes. A musical masterpiece to be sure, and it approaches BDEM territory.

Major Flaws: The romance mentioned above.
