Storyline

Edit

Plot Summary	A story very loosely based on the love story of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler who meet at a shooting match. Fabulous music although the lead characters have virtually nothing to do with the actual historical figures. Annie joins Frank Butler in Col. Cody's Wild West Show. They tour the world performing before Royalty as well as the public at large. Plot Summary

Trivia	Louis Calhern replaced Frank Morgan in the role of Buffalo Bill Cody aka Buffalo Bill after Morgan died of a sudden heart attack shortly after filming had begun. But if you look closely at Buffalo Bill's very first appearance on his horse, you will see a second of Frank Morgan before the shot of Calhern. See more »
Goofs	Right before the song "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun," Annie sits down on a bench and opens her mouth wide for her first note; then in a closer shot, she opens her mouth wide again, this time in sync with first note. See more »
Movie Connections	Featured in MGM's 30th Anniversary Tribute (1954). See more »
Soundtracks	You Can't Get a Man with a Gun See more »
Crazy Credits	The film depicts true-life people, including Annie Oakley, Frank Butler, Buffalo Bill Cody, Pawnee Bill (AKA Gordon W. Lillie), and Sitting Bull, and is loosely based on true events. However, the opening credits claim that all characters are fictional and and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. See more »
Quotes	Annie Oakley: [calling after Frank as he's walking away] Hey, mister...? Don't you like girls? Frank Butler: [not comprehendeding the question] Well... sure! Annie Oakley: [realizing it herself] I'm a girl. Frank Butler: [laughing condescendingly as he walks away] That's fine. See more »
