Annie (Special Anniversary Edition) - DVD
SKU: 40174255702200
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 of an orphanage, and Tim Curry as a villain. The film never finds its footing, 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 it.
