There's No Business Like Show Business - Annie Get Your Gun (1950)

[@calvin777100]

I can't get over how handsome Howard Keel was in this movie and also in SHOWBOAT and CALAMITY JANE. He was an incredible man at this time.

[@Prostar369]

Whilst touring with Glen Campbell, I met Howard Keel in the lift at the Norfolk Royale Hotel, Bournemouth and he suggested we take tea together.

[@lurewars]

No you didn't....

[@Maridun50]

Betty Hutton completely stole the scene! She' s perfect for this role. She made it HER picture! A formidable comedienne, singer, dancer and looked pretty as well.

[@alanellaway5489]

She's SENSATIONAL! Her reputation and renown should be much higher!

[@ianedwards4400]

What a picture, what songs, what acting by Betty Hutton who literally lived the part of Annie Oakley, sharp-shooter of the West. Great songs from the There's no business like show business and the others that followed. The number "They say that following in love is wonderful' will bring tears to your eyes' sung by both Betty and Howard Keel. This is solid entertainment that you will want to see over and over again. Besides Betty, all her co-stars were fab too that included Louis Calhern, Keenan Wynn. I really can't picture any other actor who could have played the title role more brilliantly than Ms. Betty Hutton. She was true dynamite!!!!

[@bears-ec5db]

I am a young kid, but I grew up with Annie Get Your Gun and all of the songs that came with it! My parents even convinced me to sing this for the 3rd-grade talent show. It was such a blast and this is one of my favorite scenes!

[@dianerovedo5537]

I was lucky enough to meet her and her sister in Massachusetts in late seventies. She belted out this number and others. She could swear a mean streak until my mother reminded her of my presence. She also got her sister to sing I’ve got a girl from Kalamazoo, her signature song. Meeting her was mind blowing for me and my mother. What a joy!!!!❤😊😅😂

[@theiceman6941]

Betty Hutton was the greatest. She should have been surrounded by people not only supporting her when doing this but applause, throughout. Absolutely incredible performance

I've loved Betty Hutton for years, but the part was originally due to be played by Judy Garland, I don't think even Judy could've topped Betty in this show!

Betty was a formidable singer, dancer and comedienne. She made it her film. I agree - Judy couldn't have done it.

[@Prostar369]

Judy Garland was the original choice to play Annie Oakley, but I believe Betty Hutton was far more suited to it and did a wonderful job. My cousin Betty always reminded me of Betty Hutton. Whilst staying at the Norfolk Royale Hotel in Bournemouth I had afternoon tea with Howard Keel, an extremely nice and courteous gentleman. The part of Buffalo Bill was played by the late Ted Hockridge in a London production that starred Suzi Quattro as Annie. At one time a friend owned the solid silver plated saddle that was presented to Buffalo Bill when he brought his Wild West Show to London. My second wife hated the song No Business Like.... so I would sing it at every opportunity!

[@catman3552]

Betty was perfect for this part. Judy had issues going on and wasn't fit to do the part. Betty said the mgm cast and crew were not kind to her. Robert said it didn't show on film,she said you can't let it. She wanted the part so bad but it was a bad experience for her. Nobody today has the kind of energy she had back then. I think she was great.

[@eddihaskell]

Judy had issues going on yes, one of the main reasons was that Frank Morgan, a very good friend of hers -- and the man who played the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz (and Dr. Marvel in the first part) became very ill during filming. He died of a heart attack and was replaced half way through the film. He can be seen as the cowboy with the grey hair in the song number. I believe this was one of the scenes that was filmed with Judy Garland but not shown in the complete version of course.

Judy Garland was originally due to play Annie Oakley before the part went to the delightful Betty Hutton. In a more recent London production of Annie Get Your Gun the part of Annie was played by Suzi Quattro, while the part of Buffalo Bill was played by Canadian baritone, the late Edmund Hockridge (my favourite singer).

[@davidjohnsilva2897]

What I notice is, whenever the three men sing together without Annie, the voices are dubbed. Except Keel, of course. But there’s no way the other two are producing those precise and melodious harmonies near the end of the number. The collective sound is in no way similar to the solo sound.

[@cyclone411]

ALL musical movies have the vocal rerecorded post-filming. The actors have to lip sync to their filmed image. It's impossible to capture good vocals on set with only distant boom mics. As to whether the on screen actors are the ones actually singing in the post recording, that's harder to know. Audrey Hepburn was famously overdubbed in My Fair Lady and it's very possible better singers were used here. Except Howard Keel.

Betty Hutton complained of how mean everybody was to her at MGM. According to Gerold Frank's Judy Garland biography, Judy visited the set and called Betty a GD SOB. Betty should have said, "For Chrissakes, Judy, grow up. It's not my fault you got sick; someone had to do this friggin' movie. And if it makes you feel better, all anyone's said to me is 'We don't want you, we want Judy', so tell them to give you the part back and I'll be happy to bow out." This was Hutton's best film work anyway.

[@kh23797]

Garland was sacked from this movie. Betty stepped in, saving it. So say R&H's bio's. Though similarly dogged by mental/drug issues, Betty rallied and eventually made 86yo. Coincidentally, both saw huge emotional turmoil, but was showbiz to blame? Or is it possible already emotionally damaged individuals seek the 'fix' only acting can provide?

EverythingInSight no, it's way more than 16 bars. For auditions you need to select 16 specific bars from a song, as no song will ever be only 16 bars. (Just a tip: make sure your 16 bars have a beginning, middle and end, so that the casting crew can see your potential!)
