Yaspan's Movie Reviews #3 - Annie

We recently came across the musical Annie on television. It was the scene where Miss Hannigan (played by Carol Burnett) sings the showstopper song called Little Girls. A movie review was written on Netflix through my account by Apricot, writing from a female perspective. We put her initials on the Netflix review but, apparently they didn't like the idea... here is how the review reads:

"--Brian Yaspan--
Over twenty years later since I was a little girl, Miss Hannigan's stellar performance of "Little Girls" still mezmerizes me! Miss Hannigan (played by Carol Burnett) is indeed "an ordinary woman with feelings" who exhibits a parade of personas and emotions during this one song -- from drunkard and loony to a working-class gal workin' hard for the weekend. Hardened but fragile, tough but vunerable -- this is Carol Burnett at her best until the Rooster ruins the party!"

It does sound a bit like the Rooster is quite the character! In fact, the Rooster is played by none other than a slim Tim Curry!
