     Annie Oakley
1935  NR  WESTERN  1h 30min
CAST— Barbara Stanwyck, Preston Foster, Melvyn Douglas, Pert Kelton, Andy Clyde
MUSIC— Alberto Colombo  DIRECTOR— George Stevens

     Entertaining Westerny comedy-drama focusing on the rootin’ tootin’-est little sharpshooter you ever did see. Barbara Stanwyck plays the countrified Annie Oakley whose reputation as a rifleman (or riflewoman) is renowned countywide. Here comes news of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, featuring world famous rifleman Preston Foster. The county persuades her to challenge him to a competition, and the rest is history. From there she is signed on to tour with the show where she becomes a genuine celebrity nationwide, all the while falling madly in love with Foster. Generous doses of humor liven things up while period flavor make this more of a romantic Western.
OUR RATING— ** ½
