time it has been revived in New York and London since its pre miere in 1946. Here we have all the score on a single CD, a treasure-trove of mu sical abundance given a standout performance under the direction of John McGlinn . The recording gets off to a cracking pace with one of Buffalo Bill's outriders announcing his arrival in town. We then meet the down-to-earth Annie Oakley ("D oin' what comes natur'lly"), who reveals her backwoods upbringing under her bras h exterior in the touching song "They Say It's Wonderful" ("I can't recall who s aid it / I know I never read it"). Annie famously celebrates her camaraderie wit h Frank Butler and Buffalo Bill in "There's No Business Like Show Business", and her subsequent rivalry with Frank in "Anything You Can Do" ("You couldn't beat me in long distance spitting!"). Kim Criswell's portrayal occasionally borders o n the strident, yet there is never any doubt of her commitment to the role, nor that of baritone Thomas Hampson as Frank Butler who gives a terrific performance of "My Defences Are Down". The lesser-known Berlin numbers are all gems, too, f rom Annie's hymn to illicit liquor ("Moonshine Lullaby") to the often cut duets between Tommy and Winnie. A classic all round. --Adrian Edwards

sharpshootin' funfest based on the 1,147-performance Broadway smash boasting Irving Berlin's beloved score, including Doin' What Comes Naturally, 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 a brawling boy-meets-girl-meets-buckshot rivalry. But love finally triumphs when Annie proves that, yes, you can get a man with a gun!
Album Notes: This soundtrack features tracks recorded with Judy Garland before she was fired from the production, as well as the tracks recorded in the movie which was released with Betty Hutton.

...buck and pursuades Annie to enter,where she gives Butler a lesson in shooting skills.
Buffalo Bill pursueds Annie to join the show, but this then leaves her in direct conflict with Butler, who she becomes smitten on, the two become so hell bent on beating each other, they miss out on what really matters the fact that they have fallen in love.They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and after Butler leaves for a rival company and Annie goes on a European tour, this soon becomes obvious to the pair.
Can Annieget her man as well as her gun? you bet ya'.
I really thought my teenagers wouldn't be interested in this film, but i was happily wrong, they loved it.
The film was based on a play produced by Irvine Berlin, and contains as well as others two great sing along songs, "Anything You Can Do," "Doin' What Comes Naturally...

...A musical for me should have a strong story and songs that have you singing along for days. It should also have a cast of strong performances and characters that you love from the start. For me therefore AnnieGetYourGun is the perfect musical as it certainly ticks all of these boxes as well as many, many more.
Anniegetyourgun was released in 1950 and stars Betty Hutton and Howard Keel in a sharp shooting adventure based on the fantastic Broadway performance.
AnnieGetYourGun is in short a boy-meets-girl story but the musical score and acting performances as well as the extremely well written script make it so much more than this. Annie Oakley (Betty Hutton) has spent her life "Doin' what comes naturally" that invariably means being your average country girl with a gun slung over her arm and a trail of brothers and sisters...

Advantages: Make you feel warm inside Disadvantages: You realise you know all the show tunes
...I always class this type of movie as the "Sickie". The kind of film yourmum puts on and makes you watch, while your laid up ill on the seatee. But in truth, through all the complaints of, "Do I really have to watch this, It's rubbish!". You know you enjoy it and it makes you feel warm inside. It's not long before your singing along to the show tunes.
Based on the true story of Annie Oakley, Frank Butler, Colonel Buffaol Bill and Chief Sitting Bull. AnnieGetYourGun, boasts a fantastic Oscar winning score, featuring songs you probably didn't even know were in this film.
