| Betty Hutton makes this film!
This really is one of the greatest musicals ever written. It has 11 songs of which 10 are instantly memorable (only "I'm an Indian Too" is not up to scratch). The scene "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" is one of my favourite screen moments. I never grew up with this film (I'm 37) since it was never on TV screens on the UK due to legal wrangling. I had to make do with the inferior (but still good!) Calamity Jane. Betty Hutton's performance is one of the great musical performances- up there with Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music. She carries the whole film. I cannot believe anyone who thinks that Judy Garland would be better. I have shown this film to all of my friends and relatives (sad, I know!) and all of them without exception agree that Judy Garland is no patch on Betty Hutton-she is too refined and completely miscast! The deleted song "Going West Again" is fantastic and should have been included in the stage show and film.

Trivia

Howard Keel played Annie's love interest in Annie Get Your Gun. Oakley's boyfriend was real life sharpshooter Frank Butler. The studios tapped Hollywood's favorite singing cowboy Keel again to play Wild Bill Hickox, Calamity Jane's real life beau in the Annie Get Your Gun ripoff, Calamity Jane, which was released in 1953.

Quotes

Annie Oakley: Hey, mister...? Don't you like girls?
Frank Butler: Well... sure!
Annie Oakley: I'm a girl.
Frank Butler: That's fine.

Goofs

In the first shooting match scene between Annie and Frank, electric transmission lines can clearly be seen in the background. Historically, this match took place in Cincinnati in 1881. The first electrical transmission grid was not erected until 1886 in Barrington, MA.
