SYNOPSIS

The acclaimed and infectious stage musical gets the big screen treatment. Annie is a red-haired mop-top orphan (Aileen Quinn), yearning to break out of her dreary life in an orphanage run by an iron-fisted, boozy matron Miss Hannigan. But the little auburn angel manages to charm billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks (Albert Finney) into adopting her–but what she really wants is to find her real parents. With characters based on the ‘Little Orphan Annie’ comic strip, this feel-good film has loads of singalong songs and dance routines. Academy Award Nominations for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration and Best Original Score.
