Synopsis

Spoiler shield

An in-depth look into the making of the film Annie (1982). It covers the adaptation changes from the original Broadway musical, the hiring of director John Huston, the nationwide search to cast the title role, the production process, and the conception of several musical numbers, including a different version of the song "Easy Street" than the one that ended up in the film.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
