Pajama Game

Buy This Item Pajama Game by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $19.98  on 10-31-2008     This 1957 version of the Tony-winning <I>Pajama Game</I> is one of the finest film adaptations of a hit Broadway musical. The story is simple enough: Babe Williams, the head of a pajama company's grievance committee, falls for an exec--the new superintendent--Sid Sorokin (John Raitt). Doris Day, as Babe, has never been so efficiently cute. Raitt starred in the Broadway version, as did much of the film's cast (Day replaced original stage star Janis Paige). <I>The Pajama Game</I> is filled with recognizable, classic songs, done so well and danced so athletically that this musical can engage an action-film fan. Bob Fosse's trademark choreography shines. <p>Check out two numbers danced by the late, underused, and underrated Carol Haney, who performs amazing feats for "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway." Both Day and Raitt deliver lovely renditions of "Hey There." They're also supported by a great cast that includes, in addition to Haney, a slyly coy Reta Shaw and a dynamic Eddie Foy Jr. <I>--N.F. Mendoza</I> Reader Reviews I was disappointed that there are no captions on this movie. I should have double checked before I purchased it.
