PLOT SYNOPSIS

"Annie Get Your Gun is a simple love story of a two-fisted girl shrewd enough to know that "you can't get a man with a gun," but damned if she'll bow to anything in pants when it comes to marksmanship. She wavers, however, when she meets her arch-rival, husky Frank Butler, star of Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show. Annie, who reigns as the queen of Buffalo Bill's show, fears she can never equal his dream of the soft and feminine girl that he'll marry. She finally finds the way to his heart by purposely losing an exhibition shooting match with Butler."
- Lawrence B. Thomas, The MGM Years

NOTES

". . .another triumph for producer Arthur Freed, and for Robert Alton, whose staging of the musical numbers. . .did Berlin's magnificent score proud."
- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical

". . .a whale of a motion picture. . .The producers have loaded more people, more gaudy Wild West show, more horses, more guns and more clay pigeons onto the screen than could ever be assembled on the stage. With diligence and fidelity - and Technicolor, of course - they have splashed on a limitless canvas the tale of Annie Oakley, the crack shot."
- Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

"The whole movie has a kind of primer mentality. . .but it comes across as a rousing, good show. Betty Hutton's all-out comic desperation is very appealing. . .her performance didn't get the praise it deserved, though. . ."
- Pauline Kael, 5001 Nights At The Movies
