The most successful adaptation of a comic strip, Little Orphan Annie leapt to the big screen under the direction of John Houston (TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, KEY LARGO). This classic rags-to-riches musical set in Depression Era New York distills every girl's orphan fantasy into a series of dance numbers, pillow fights and trips to the White House. Perfectly cast as Annie, Aileen Quinn is accompanied by a memorable group of supporting actors including Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Tim Curry as Rooster and Carol Burnett in an indelible performance as Miss Hannigan.
