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

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.

The dvd came very quick and was in perfect condition. Great price and will order again from amazon.

Rating: - THE version to get!
If you are looking to buy this film as I was and are wondering which version is better, allow me to make it simple for you. THIS version is the widescreen transfer (yellow background) while the more available red and glittery version is not. This was a 2:35 to 1 film, and if you get the other full screen version you are missing half of the performances right off the top. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the more readily available red cover and grab this. Unless you enjoy losing half of your ... Read More
