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.
