My Favorite Stanwyck Film - Annie Oakley

I still get a bit excited when I watch Barbary Stanwyck as Annie Oakley. Maybe it is just the frayed skirt she wears, but more than likely, it is her thorough enjoyment of playing this role that shines through her performance. An actor or actress rises a notch when they really relish the role they are playing. She is perfect as Annie. Preston Foster does a good job in a secondary roles as the romantic interest of Annie. A film I have seen a few times.

Trivia

Goofs
In the movie, during the European tour, Annie shoots a cigarette out of the mouth of Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany (later to become Germany's Kaiser). There was such an incident, but Annie didn't shoot the cigarette out of Wilhelm's mouth due to the danger but shot it out of his hand instead. During WWI Annie, reminisced that if she could do it over she'd let him put it in his mouth and then miss.

Quotes
Toby Walker: Well dog my cats!

Crazy credits
Opening credits prologue: No fiction is stranger than the actual life of Annie Oakley who came out of a backwoods village half a century ago to astonish the world.
