I've always loved Annie Oakley. I've always loved Barbara Stanwyck too. I'm sure one is related to the other. This used to be one of those old, mid-morning movies that was shown fairly often. If you stayed home from school, (ahem) SICK, you got to see it. Cowboys, Indians, Buffalo Bill, his Wild West Show, sharpshooting, a (yucky) love story, and the charming and beautiful Barbara Stanwyck. Hmmm, what a way to recover enough to return to school!!! Barbara Stanwyck was a liberated woman playing liberated roles long before it was in vogue.
Great license is taken with history, but this film was made when heroes were bigger than life and legend ruled. It's a nicely told story, tracing the life of a young girl, from the backwoods to a life of world-wide celebrity (yes, and love too). "Annie's" skills were real, but she had lots of help learning "showmanship". There are a lot of funny moments, warm moments, and selfless (O Henry type) acts. These "flesh" out the story and lead you right into a joyous ending. (AIN'T LOVE GRAND!)
Very nicely done, it will please "new" audiences and old-timers alike. The younger crowd should especially like "Annie Oakley". They don't make movies like this anymore. It's a fitting tribute to Annie Oakley, American legend, and folk hero.....
PS--- I gave this a 9 out of 10 rating. I was tempted to give it a 10, after all, it was made in 1935 and is still good....

George Stevens directs this biography on the early career of sharp-shooter Annie Oakley as if it were a star-crossed lovers' tale, replete with heartache and self-sacrifice. Backwoods girl from Ohio in the 1890s enters a shooting contest against world's champion Toby Walker and nearly beats him; this leads to a co-starring spot in Buffalo Bill's traveling western show, where the primrose gal becomes a star and falls in love with competitor Walker. Barbara Stanwyck was born to play Annie Oakley, yet her performance isn't the raucous hoot one might expect (this is director Stevens' fault, who lingers on Annie's sympathy and compassion for others so long, it makes her seem like a bleeding-heart). Still, Stanwyck is the reason to watch, and she's best in the film's first-half--when Annie still has a little gumshun in her and playful self-assurance. Stevens seems more interested in the budding love story between Oakley and Walker than in creating an actual document of Oakley's colorful life (which we are told at the start was stranger than any fiction). Certainly a good try, with funny bits of business happening along the sidelines and plenty of blustery character actors in support. **1/2 from ****
The historical Annie Oakley came from a Quaker family and had an understated, quiet demeanor that often comes as a surprise to people who know her only from the over-the-top Hutton movie or the typically asinine performance of Ethel "One Volume, Full Blast" Merman.
Many people still remembered Oakley the person at the time of this movie; she had passed away only in 1926 and was still a celebrity, shooting perfect hundreds in a row in 1922, aged 62. The source of one of Barbara Stanwyck's great early characterizations, Oakley probably shared personality traits with the actress. Stanwyck was also very quiet and intensely private during the 1930s, socializing on her ranch only with the Jack Bennies, Joan Crawford, and the Joel McCreas.
Box office returns were good, for a Stanwyck of this vintage. They would have been better if RKO hadn't clumsily stepped on the film by releasing 'In Person' only a few days after 'Oakley' came out, causing some competition within RKO's own fanbase. Still, it was Stanwyck's biggest box office of her career up to that time and she was slowly moving out of B films.
The contemporary critics loved Stanwyck's performance: "The New York World-Telegram wrote that, "The talented and attractive Barbara Stanwyck gives by far the best screen performance of her career. Miss Stanwyck plays the role with such commendable restraint and with such feeling for the character that she almost becomes Annie Oakley." Critic Richard Watts (he did film criticism for a couple of years at the beginning of his long and distinguished career) praised the entire film and said that "Miss Stanwyck has never been more real and touching than she is in the title role."
And there is no reason to argue with them - it's a great performance by one of the greatest actresses under strong direction by one of the master artists of film, George Stevens.

This film is listed under the "western" genre, but it is not a western, unless you consider Cincinnati part of the wild west. Also it is listed as a drama, which is true, but it also contains comedic elements, often attributable to the Sitting Bull character.
People write about how fictionalized the story is, but actually many of the main elements of the story are true.
In the film, Toby Walker (Preston Foster) is a sharpshooter from New York who visits Cincinnati for an exhibition. There he signs a contract to perform in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Most of that is true, though his real name was Frank Butler and he was from Ireland.
While in Cincinnati, he makes a wager with a local inn owner that he can beat any challenger. The innkeeper calls on Annie Oakley (Barbara Stanwyck) to do the shooting. In real life, the name "Annie Oakley" came shortly afterward and Annie wins the contest, unlike in the film where she loses intentionally because she feels sorry for Toby.
Annie also signs up with Buffalo Bill and the story follows both trick shooters on the tour. I will not detail the remaining storyline, but it bears a resemblance to "A Star is Born".
As depicted, Annie really was from Ohio--a small hamlet named North Star. She was born in a log cabin and actually had a very hard childhood.
Toby Walker is portrayed as a rather nasty guy, at least at first. The same approach was later used in "Annie Get Your Gun" on stage and screen. But the film has a great Hollywood ending.
The depiction of the Wild West Shows is abbreviated but accurate. It is almost like viewing a piece of history. When the film starts, the year is approximately 1875. The Battle of Little Bighorn took place in 1876, so tales of "dangerous" Indians were current. Sitting Bull really did join the show for about four months, though it was later, approximately 1884. He and Annie did develop a special bond.
My point in mentioning this bit of history is to explain that the timing in the film may not have been totally accurate, but the appearance of Sitting Bull in the Wild West Show was a remarkable thing, so it is understandable that the script writers wanted to include him in the story.
The film does a good job of portraying Annie as the nearly mythical person she actually was. I like Barbara Stanwyck's portrayal. Though Ms. Stanwyck might be more of a looker than Annie, the real Frank Butler did marry her and was dedicated to her throughout his lifetime.

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.

- CuriosidadesReleased less than 10 years after the death of the real Annie Oakley.
- Erros de gravaçãoIn 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.
