"Amazing comic strip character brought to celluloid-Wonderful!,

Once again John Huston works his movie magic, bringing the popular stage musical, based on a beloved comic strip character to the big screen. The cast is just first rate. You could not ask for better. The pick of young Aileen Quinn for the role of Annie was inspired, and all of the children in this film stand out. Albert Finney is at his outrageous best as Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks, who is so rich he buys the Mona Lisa for his bathroom. After seeing this version I can envision no one but Carol Burnette in her second great musical role. (The first was Mary Roger's "Once Upon a Mattress.")Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters are also excellent as Rooster and Liliy (I'll let you figure out which was which.) Ann Reinking plays a lovely Grace Farrell to Finny's Warbucks. Geoffrey Holder is grand as the mystic bodyguard Punjab. Finally, reprising a character he has played a number of times in different movies Edward Hermann is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

With a good script, excellent music, fine choreography and excellent actors what more could there be. With wonderful songs like "A Hard Knock Life," "Little Girls," "Easy Street," "We've got Annie" and of course "Tomorrow.""
