Annie Oakley (1935) DVD

Folks back home say Annie Oakley can knock the eye out of a bumblebee at 50 paces. In Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, Annie blasts a flock of clay pigeons out of the sky, shoots a cigarette out of a man's mouth and performs other amazing feats that make her the show's star attraction and the world's darling. Annie Oakley's star attraction is a radiant Barbara Stanwyck, sharpshootin' her way, under George Stevens' direction, into biopic glory and into the heart of a rival marksman (Preston Foster). There's more fun, what with trick riders, bronco busters and proud Indians all thundering across the screen in a hoopla-and-ballyhoo-filled re-creation of what was once the pinnacle of American showmanship.
