Having been lucky enough to see the original on Broadway I was looking forward to the transition to the silver screen.  Unfortunately most of the magic of the musical was left in New York and never made it to Hollywood.  The songs are, of course, very good, though they did drop one of my favorites, "NYC", from the score and added the, in my opinion, inferior "Let's Go To The Movies".  Aileen Quinn does a very credible job in the title role.  Albert Finney, as Daddy Warbucks, and Carol Burnett, as  Miss Hannigan, also do a good job.  Ann Reinking, as Daddy Warbucks' secretary, proves to be one of the best dancers around.  Many of the things that are done in the movie, such as the rescue of Annie on the railroad bridge, could not have done on the stage.  For all its shortcomings, "Annie" is still well worth the watch.
