American Experience: Annie Oakley (2006)

Member Rating:

Her handling of a rifle earned her a key spot in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and now the American markswoman frequently cited as "the greatest woman rifle shot the world has ever produced" is profiled in this documentary, which looks beyond the myth and into the true life of Annie Oakley. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Fascinating, well told and ultimately touching, this short (60 minute) biography of the legendary sharpshooter tells the tale of an amazing life, full of more than itâs shares of ups and downs. Oakley was, without setting out to be, a pioneer among women, competing on even terms in a manâs world, at a manâs sport, and beating men at their own game at a time when that was generally unthinkable. At the same time, she stayed outwardly to the Victorian ideal of seeming demure and âlady-likeâ. Yet she would fight ferociously to protect herself, her position and her image. A woman full of contradictions, a love story, a fight to break ground, and the story of an amazing talent make this a very entertaining piece of history.
