No, seriously: what responsible adult would turn a year-old out on the loose? Sure, it gives Annie a chance to find Sandy the dog and save him from some street ruffians who, incidentally, shove her against a wall brutally, so that proves it's totally safe out there in the streets and throw some punches at said ruffians, but before too long, she's picked up by a cop who takes her back to the poorly and irresponsibly run orphanage that is probably a lot safer that, you know, homelessness.
If Mr. Bundles had really helped Annie by finding her a nice family, or by letting her work at the laundry or something, it wouldn't have been the same movie, so it gets a pass, but damn, Laundry Man. Have a heart. Some of the lyrics in Annie are super dark, sad and disturbing. And, never forget, "It's The Hard-Knock Life" has such uplifting lyrics as "Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'?
Rotten smelly life! Full of sorrow life! No tomorrow life! Do you really want your kid walking around singing that? While it seems really nice that this billionaire wants to invite an orphan to spend the week in his home, it's really because he needs better PR. Aren't here some kind of regulations about who gets to take an orphan and when? Miss Hannigan has no objections to Ms. Farrell walking out of there with an orphan — she just doesn't want it to be Annie.
In fact, the two adults play a game of tug-o-war with the little girl until Ms. Farrell eventually wins. And it turns out that Warbucks wanted a boy orphan, but isn't that just as weird? Either way, a rich dude sending his secretary to rent an orphan for his public image, no questions asked and no paperwork filed, is pretty odd.
Blah blah we're supposed to know that orphans don't matter No wonder Annie thinks she's there to be a housekeeper when she arrives. Not a very intuitive process.
Annie ends up down in Warbucks' office right about when a guy lurking about outside throws a bomb through the window. The Asp picks it up and throws it back out, and Punjab grabs the guy and wrestles him through the house. When Annie asks why anyone would want to kill Mr. Warbucks, Ms. Farrell says that the Bolsheviks are trying to kill him because, "He's living proof that the American system really works and the Bolsheviks don't want anybody to know about that.
Could it also be that Warbucks made his billions in munitions? Come on. The guy's name is Warbucks. If he made his fortune in weapons in WWI, or, say, the Russian Revolution, there is a grown-up explanation for this murder attempt, and it ain't pretty. It means that people want Warbucks dead for totally different reasons that put Annie in a lot of danger, for pretty much the whole time she spends at the estate.
Warbucks is starting to warm up to Annie. He books the p. It's so exciting that Annie and Ms. Farrell have to dance around and show their underwear and sing about the movies. It's a family outing, and even Sandy gets to go. That's all awesome and everything, but the movie that's showing is Camille , a movie about a courtesan fancy kept prostitute who ends up dying of a terminal illness at the end. Fun times! While the movie shows plenty of scenes from Camille , it totally glosses over the main character's profession.
It just looks like a tragic romance. While there has to be some reason for Warbucks to give his hanky to Ms. Farrell she's a weepy mess by the time the movie ends , it's interesting and kind of messed up that they picked that film to be the one in Annie.
It was designed by Horace Trumbauer and his assistant Julian Abele, considered by some to be the first African American architect in America. Within 10 years, Parson went broke and his home was appropriated by the city. After that, according to The New York Times , it served as a military academy, a military hospital, and a school for girls, but never again as a private home.
In the s, Monmouth College bought the mansion and its acres, and it remains a part of the school's campus today. Years after filming her performance in Annie , Quinn returned to the scence of her childhood stardom when she began teaching at Monmouth University. According to a interview with Entertainment Weekly :. So I went back for the first time and actually got very emotional. There were some conversations afterwards and they asked if I would be interested in teaching, and I said I would actually love that.
Next thing I knew, I was teaching a theater course. As even the most casual fan of A Christmas Story knows, Annie was a radio program before it was a movie and she wanted you to drink your Ovaltine. The original Annie as we know her appeared in a comic strip started in by Harold Gray. Annie of the comics was Nancy Drew crossed with Dick Tracy; she spent a lot of her time fighting Nazis and uncovering communist plots.
And those round, empty eye sockets? Those were on purpose, according to Gray. In the s, two Annie adventure movies were made. The Broadway play released in was the most successful incarnation of Annie since her days of being shot at by gangsters. It was followed by the movie, a made-for-television remake in , and a reboot. However, Miss Agatha Hannigan, her evil brother, Daniel Francis "Rooster" Hannigan Tim Curry , and a female accomplice, plan to impersonate those people to get the reward for themselves, which puts Annie in great danger.
