If you loved Annie, try Annie
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Annie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Annie is
John Huston directs, of all people. Little orphan Annie leaves Miss Hannigan's grim orphanage for a two-week stay at Daddy Warbucks' mansion. Warbucks' subsequent nationwide search for Annie's real parents attracts attention, some of it unwelcome. It is broadly faithful to the source material.
