Product Description

Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no sense of setting; it's almost as if the whole thing is happening in a void. John Huston nominally directed--no doubt to make money between his smaller, cheaper masterpieces--but one would have thought he would invest something of himself in here. --Tom Keogh

 makes my child happy November 11, 2008
I have a daughter with autism and she loves it. Thank you for the prompt service.
 Not buying until available in widescreen October 9, 2008
I watched the 1982 version of "Annie" on TCM the other day. I hadn't seen it since I saw it -and hated it--in a theater. My expectations must have been low, because I actually enjoyed it, especially the performances. Carol Burnett is at her best in this. She's like a Disney villain come to life. Awesome. Albert Finney, Ann Reinking and Bernadette Peters were good, too. The worst thing was the direction. John Huston made some really odd choices and the "action" scene at the end was just about the worst action scene ever. The second worst thing: the children. They were all really phony. Aileen Quinn in the lead role was good in places and was musically talented (her tap-dancing was especially good), but her acting overall was pretty weak. I'm surprised to find that you can't buy this in widescreen. I'm not buying it until it is available in widescreen--and it probably will be eventually.

I don't have much to comment on this item as i could not view it. When I put it in the DVD player it asks you to check your area code. There is no area code for you to check, so therefor I cannot view the film.
My children were very dissappointed when they could not watch it and it was a waste of money buying it and having it shipped over,
We love Annie. September 30, 2008
The dvd came very quick and was in perfect condition. Great price and will order again from amazon.

An epic disaster. Bad acting. Poorly sung. The cast are all acting in different movies. Get the Disney tv version which is superior to this film in every way.
