Trivia:
Irving Berlin's "You Can't Get A Man With a Gun" is strikingly similar to "I'm True To The Navy Now" written by Elsie Janis and Jack King and performed by Clara Bow in Paramount on Parade (1930). That earlier song was later performed by Carmen Miranda in the Fox film Doll Face (1946) but was cut from that film as Paramount would not give permission for its use. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: Annie sees the Statue of Liberty as she returns to America to win Frank Butler's heart. The statue wasn't shipped from Paris until 1885, and wasn't completed in New York harbor until 1886, four years after Frank and Annie married. moreQuotes:
Chief Sitting Bull: Sitting Bull live by three words: Keep bow tight, Keep arrow sharp,[and with finality]
Chief Sitting Bull: No put money into shoe budiness.
Charlie Davenport: [rhetorically] How'd we ever get this country away from them?

1950's ANNIE GET YOUR GUN was originally planned to star Judy Garland in the title role; however Garland had just finished a stint in rehab and doctors recommended a year off. Instead she was given two weeks off and was assigned to report to wardrobe tests for the film. She even filmed a few scenes and a couple of musical numbers (which are included on the DVD), but Garland looks worn and haggard and she clearly was in no shape, physically or emotionally to work, so she was replaced by that bundle of bombastic( an adjective which I think the actress has the patent on)energy, Betty Hutton, who makes the most of this role and the classic Irving Berlin score (not Rodgers and Hammerstein as a previous poster stated). I have to admit I wouldn't have minded hearing Garland's interpretation of "I've Got the Sun in the Morning" or "They Say that Falling in Love" (Hutton's weakest moment) but for the most part Hutton shines as Annie and gets solid support from handsome Howard Keel as Frank Butler. Their duet "Anything you can do" is another highlight. A first rate stage musical gets first rate screen treatment from the MGM dream factory.
