"Finally this Barbara Stanwyck classic is on DVD. I can get rid of my VHS tape.
Eventhough I'm a big Annie Oakley fan and know her story well, I truly enjoy this fictionalized account of her story. The scenery and costumes seem to be very authentic. It is a fun movie and highly recommended."
Loved it!

"This is a very likeable movie about the fantastic sharpshooter, Annie Oakley. It doesn't deal much with her early life, but rather opens with the first shooting match against the world famous "Walker", who in real life was Butler. We are treated to some delightful Wild West rodeo scenes. And just overall the movie has a very likeable quality. The love story is partially true and partially made up. However, overall the basic facts are pretty accurate. Barbara Stanwyck is a very natural choice for the lead role. And the Chief who portrays Chief Sitting Bull is very charming as well. This movie is suitable for family viewing and watch out, it will make you want to try out your marksmanship skills before the end!"

"As an Artistic cooridinator of a wild west show I find this video very intresting as the the costumes and pariticular attention to the role of Annie Oakley. I believe that Barbra Stanwyck preformance gives a strong representation of Annie Oakley's sassy spirt and the true pioneer woman which made her an icon of the old west."
