Hutton was kind of a rustic version of Merman, and thus a good fit for the role of Annie Oakley. I still wonder what Garland might have have brought to the part, though. It would have been interesting to see a less brassy and confident Annie than either Merman or Hutton played (more life-sized, rather than larger-than-life.)
