“Do I hear singing in here?” Moviegoers definitely got their share of songs in the 1982 movie
musical, “Annie”... but critics didn’t sing its praises. But now, 40 years later, was the film as
misunderstood as Miss Hannigan? The movie boasted a world-class director (John Huston), a
dazzling cast (Carol Burnett, Albert Finney), and a beloved lead character with a built-in fan
base. Upon rewatch, does Aileen Quinn amaze or annoy? What are the laws around “renting”
an orphan? And, will the sun come out tomorrow? The Old Roommates blow the whistle on this
big-budget sing-along. Listen to this.
