Hadn't seen this musical before and it was wonderful. Great cast, musical numbers and engaging story.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I have lots of memories of The Pajama Game from my early teen years. My family saw the film, and had the Broadway Cast record that we played all the time. (I know most of the songs by heart.) This is the movie that I remember, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. In fact, I had just put it on pause when the eBay email came suggesting I review it. One problem with the disk itself: I can't seem to get the movie to start up properly. I either get a loop of the title scene, or else it jumps in early in the first scene -- not a smooth start.
Every so often there comes a light-hearted musical that just resonates with your soul. Put aside the troubling times and sensitivities and watch a movie that takes you to another time and place. In The Pajama Game the wonderful Doris Day and John Raitt square off, as well as fall in love, over a garment union strike. There is singing, dancing and several other lesser stories entwined into this entertaining story. Despite its being dated by the amount of the strike disagreement, the story beneath is timeless. It is a "must see", and, in my case "a must have".
I bought this because I had seen it on the screen many years ago. I even had a chance later on to see John Raitt in person on another occaission. The score is great: "Steam Heat", "Hey, There", "Hernando's Hideaway", "Six and a Half Cents". Doris Day looks wonderful and sings just as well. Great entertainment for the family.
This is a cute movie and has a great score. Doris is not only a great singer but also a good actress and is it any wonder that till today, this musical is performed in many theatres as well as high schools and colleges throughout the U.S. There is also a certain innocence that is captured in the film that may not be as sincere today. A very enjoyable movie and classic!
