The movie version of Annie Get Your Gun, coming four years after the opening of the wildly successful 1946 Broadway musical, was a reasonable Hollywood transfer. Typically, a third of the songs were dropped -- no "I Got Lost in His Arms," "I'll Share It All With You," "I'm a Bad, Bad Man," "Moonshine Lullaby," or "Who Do You Love, I Hope?" But ten numbers remained, among them the show's best-known songs -- "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly," "There's No Business Like Show Business," and "Anything You Can Do" -- even if songwriter Irving Berlin was forced to bowdlerize the lyrics to "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly." The film benefited from unusually felicitous casting. The show had been written for Ethel Merman, who was not considered bankable in Hollywood. But Betty Hutton brought her usual energy and effervescence to her portrayal, and Howard Keel, in his first major movie role, gave her strong support. The result was one of the biggest box-office hits of 1950. ~ William Ruhlmann
