Amazon.com video review:
Charmless and dull, this adaptation of the Broadway hit stars
Aileen Quinn as the depression-era moppet, Albert Finney as Daddy
Warbucks, Carol Burnett as the cruel headmistress at an orphanage, and
Tim Curry as a villain. The film never gets its legs, and there is no
sense of setting; it's almost as if the whole thing is happening in a
void. John Huston nominally directed--no doubt to make money between
his smaller, cheaper masterpieces--but one would have thought he would
invest something of himself in here. --Tom Keogh
