About the film
“Annie Get Your Gun is gay, wonderful, bright entertainment, with Betty Hutton romping happily through her most infectious role in many seasons. It is pleasant to listen to, delightful to look at, and filled with lusty laughter.”
– Marjory Adams, Daily Boston Globe, June 9, 1950
“Blues-singing impresarios of film entertainment had a chance over the week end to find out just how fond the public still is of a movie that is right. Annie Get Your Gun at reopened Loew’s State and Egyptian Theaters quite evidently supplied all the desirable values to entice attendance. . . . Annie Get Your Gun is just about as right as a light musical film can be. Its only fault is that occasionally it is almost too lavish and rich for reality.”
– Edwin Schallert, Los Angeles Times, June 5, 1950
“Into this screen translation of the Berlin-Fields musical comedy hit, which had its local premiere at Loew’s State yesterday, the West Coast producers have loaded more people, more gaudy Wild West show, more horses, more guns and more clay pigeons than could ever be assembled on stage. With diligence and fidelity—and with Technicolor, of course—they have splashed on a limitless canvas the tale of Annie Oakley, the crack shot.”
– Bosley Crowther, New York Times, May 18, 1950
