Annie Get Your Gun

Betty Hutton's energy and 'ethel' factor is undisputed. She carries a B tier story but ultimately, this doesn't work for me. Forget that it was dated when it was made, the energy of a truly undervalued performer doesn't carry the film. To quote Noel Coward - 'not denying the fact, she's desperate to act, it isn't quite enough.' Such a shame Hutton never had a better vehicle.

Betty Hutton is wonderful, particularly in the first third of the film, before Annie joins Buffalo Bill. Her version of "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun" is both funny and very moving. Hutton had such frightening energy, such a desperate need to be loved, that it reaches right out of the screen and grabs you. Keel lacks charm, the direction lacks energy, but--for me--Hutton is enough. (If you're not easily offended by Native-American stereotypes, Naish's Sitting Bull is pretty funny too.)

Betty Hutton's over-the-top personality and talents are perfectly suited to this big, bombastic musical -- one of Hollywood's best.

Betty Hutton's unearthly energy carries this film. Shameless racism aside, there are some fun songs and a decent attempt at spectacle, though the film would ultimately be a chore to sit through without Hutton.

Em honra do centenário de Betty Hutton. Agora entendo porque esse filme não é tão famoso quanto outros clássicos da época, ver mulher se anulando para não machucar ego de homem é difícil de digerir. *Lembrando que em 1950 a Simone de Beauvoir já tinha escrito e lançado O Segundo Sexo.
