If you loved Escape to Victory, 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
Both films are directed by John Huston, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Escape to Victory, 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.
