DVD Reviews of Annie Oakley
DVD Review: Not very accurate, but a nice Stanwyck vehicle
Summary: 4 Stars
Barbara Stanwyck hadn't yet settled into her "tough broad" persona when she made this movie (she was only 28), but it was her first venture into something that might be called a Western, a genre of which she went on to appear in many examples, being a great admirer of the pioneers. Ironically she was (according to one historian) terrified of guns! For all that she makes a believable sharpshooter. In 1885, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show is the newest and greatest thing around, and Bill's (Moroni Olsen) partner Jeff Hogarth (Melvyn Douglas) has just signed on a brash Bowery rifleman, Toby Walker (Preston Foster), who's never been west of St. Louis and has rather a scornful attitude toward "those hairy-pants rubes." In rural Ohio, young Annie, who for the last five years has supported her widowed mother and two siblings by her wizardry at bringing down game, sees a poster featuring Walker and is immediately smitten. When Hogarth and Cincinnati hotelier James MacIvor (Andy Clyde) make a bet pitting Walker against the shooter who's been supplying Mac's kitchens with head-shot quail, neither one knows that she's a girl. But she soon dazzles the assembled multitude with her marksmanship, and even after she deliberately throws the match, Hogarth knows she's a natural for the show. Toby soon takes an interest in polishing up her act, and she becomes a great success, also striking up a real attachment with him, and even attracting the attention of Chief Sitting Bull (Chief Thunder Bird). Then the supposed "rivalry" between the two shooters seems to turn serious when Annie's hand is injured and Walker is blamed for it and fired from the show, though even a triumphal tour of Europe can't put him out of Annie's mind.
This old-fashioned biopic is only partly accurate (read The Secret Annie Oakley for a better fictional treatment), but the young Stanwyck is really rather charming, and the show sequences are especially good. A note of humor is added by Sitting Bull's various encounters with civilization (especially the scenes in which he spots Toby in the audience and tracks him down through the New York streets so he can take his "Little Sure-Shot" to her beloved).
