It's like some kind of dumb toy that doesn't do anything or go anywhere, but it is fun to watch as it spins mindlessly around and around. Full Review
They don't build movies like this anymore. Full Review
The songs never take off into anything very much, the whole atmosphere (apart from the climax) is distinctly stagebound, and Huston merely reveals why he had never before in his long career been hired to make a musical. Full Review
Many people said John Huston was an odd choice to direct Annie and he proves them right. Full Review
