I truly miss the traditional Broadway/Hollywood musical, a true American art form that has virtually disappeared. As a collector I was delighted when I received Annie Get Your Gun a couple of days ago. I was not disappointed! Besides the delightful score, Annie Get Your Gun, being Irving Berlin's last musical, has historic significance. The theme of this almost 50 year old musical weaves nicely into the modern feminist agenda, and for that reason is very timely. Betty Hutton did a great job. I remember her movies from a time when she and I were much younger. I did not appreciate then the quality of her dance movements, but they are a thing to behold. Betty's singing voice is not the best, but this does not detract. What the viewer is seeking is not operatic quality but personality projection and delight and there is plenty of that. Howard Keel demonstrates that he was one of the great non-operatic singers of the movies. I will keep this one in my collection and recommend it.
