Finally this Barbara Stanwyck classic is on DVD. I can get rid of my VHS tape.

Eventhough I'm a big Annie Oakley fan and know her story well, I truly enjoy this fictionalized account of her story. The scenery and costumes seem to be very authentic. It is a fun movie and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet version of the Annie Oakley story, October 30, 2010

"Annie Oakley"
(RKO, 1935)
--------------------------------
This is a fun, sweet version of the Annie Oakley fable, with a scrumptious young Barbara Stanwyck in the starring role. She's all a-twinkle as a simple country gal love-smitten for her fellow sharpshooter, Toby Walker (a fictional stand-in for the Wild West show performer Francis E. Butler, who married Oakley in real life...) Played here by a dashing Preston Foster, the "Walker" character is both heroic and tragic -- he appears full of bluster and ego, but we soon learn it's all for show: he teaches Annie the ropes of showbiz, and they put on an act for the press, pretending to have a fearsome rivalry when in fact they are in love. Fate tears them apart; love brings them back together, but only after a 1930s-style romantic melodrama, with a little light comedy. Some of the film's trappings don't age well -- particularly the stereotyped depictions of African-Americans and to a lesser degree, the Native Americans in the Buffalo Bill show -- but the film is basically nice light entertainment. And if you, like many of us, totally adore Stanwyck as an actress, this is a perfect film to see her in her full, youthful dewy-eyed bloom. Recommended! (Axton)

This review is from: Annie Oakley (DVD)

This is a very likeable movie about the fantastic sharpshooter, Annie Oakley. It doesn't deal much with her early life, but rather opens with the first shooting match against the world famous "Walker", who in real life was Butler. We are treated to some delightful Wild West rodeo scenes. And just overall the movie has a very likeable quality. The love story is partially true and partially made up. However, overall the basic facts are pretty accurate. Barbara Stanwyck is a very natural choice for the lead role. And the Chief who portrays Chief Sitting Bull is very charming as well. This movie is suitable for family viewing and watch out, it will make you want to try out your marksmanship skills before the end!
