Gentle Annie is a film with a Western theme, directed in 1944 by Andrew Marton, starring Donna Reed and James Craig.

Morgan is best known for his role as Col. Potter in the TV show M*A*S*H. A frontierswoman turns her family into a band of bank robbers.

Filming began on October 6, 1942, but when director W. S. Van Dyke became ill in early November 1942, production was halted.

The 1942 version was produced by Sam Zimbalist and starred Robert Taylor as Lloyd Richland, Susan Peters as Mary Lingen, Spring Byington as Annie Goss, Charles Grapewin as Barrow and Morris Ankrum as the sheriff.

When the project was revived in 1944, the script was rewritten and all the principal crew and cast, except Ankrum and Craig, were replaced.
