Advantages: Brilliant light hearted fun

Disadvantages: A bit too cheesy for some - happy endings etc!

This film is one of my most poignant childhood memories the singing, the dancing, those dear little orphans and of course Miss Hannigan. That is Carol Burnett who excels as the gin-soaked tyrant who makes the orphan's lives misery at the girls' home she single handedly runs.

Aileen Quinn stars as the singing orphan who dreams of a life with real parents away from the orphanage where she has been for as long as she remembers. Getting saved from the orphanage by rich Daddy Warbucks played by Albert Finney, she embarks on a total change of lifestyle living in the mansion of the billioniare.

However the evil Miss Hannigan has not finished with Annie, yet - Mr Warbucks means money and she will do whatever she can to get some . . . . . .

Set in New Yorl in the 1930's Annie has many memorable songs such as Its a Hard Knock Life, You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile and of course the unforgetable The Sun Will Come out Tomorrow.

A perfect film for both the old and young, however beware of the driver Punjab - as a five year old I was terrified of him!
