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.

...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.

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.
