Trivia:
Steve Martin was offered the role of Rooster, but when he heard he would be working alongside Bernadette Peters he turned the role down. As they were breaking up at the time and Steve felt it would be too painful to work with her for several months. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When climbing the bridge, it is obvious that the "Annie" climbing there is a stand in, since she is as tall as Rooster following her. more
Quotes:

Annie: What is?
[Warbucks pulls out the locket]
Annie: It's so pretty, but...
Daddy Warbucks: Let me put it on you.
Annie: No. It's a really swell locket, Mr. Warbucks, but if it's all the same to you, I'll keep my old one.
Daddy Warbucks: It isn't all the same to me. Your old one's broken, this one's engraved, you didn't even look at it: 'To Annie, with love, from... Daddy Warbucks.
Annie: Mr. Warbucks, when my folks left me at the orphanage ten years ago, they left a note saying they'd come back to get me as soon as they could, and they kept the other half of this old locket so I'd know them when they came. I'm going to find them someday...

Likable Musical, 28 June 2006
Author: George Attwood from Canada

ANNIE (1982) **** Likable basis of the Broadway musical about a little orphaned girl, Annie, who falls into the care of a well-to-do billionaire. The rich man had intended to boost his political image through this situation, but he ultimately wants to keep the little girl in light of his newfound daughter-like love for her. Aileen Quinn is fine as the titled character, turning in rags for riches, all the while hoping to someday reunite with her real parents who had abandoned her for orphan care. Though the movie goes on for too long, the charm and likability of this musical production more than makes up for it. Of the lead players, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, and Ann Reinking are particularly nice to watch.
