The Pajama Game

The Pajama Game

The smash-hit Broadway romantic-comedy musical about a labor struggle in a pajama factory made a faithful and satisfying transition to the screen under the direction of George Abbott (who co-directed and co-wrote the stage production) and Stanley Donen. Doris Day plays Babe Williams, a factory worker and union activist who finds herself unexpectedly falling for new factory superintendent Sid (John Raitt, reprising his Broadway role). Bob Fosse recreated his memorable stage choreography for the film, and the song score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross includes such classics as “I’m Not At All In Love,” “Hey There,” and “Steam Heat.”

DIRECTORS: George Abbott, Stanley Donen. WRITTEN BY: George Abbott, Richard Bissell. CAST: Doris Day,John Raitt, Carol Haney, Eddie Foy Jr. 1957. 108 min. USA. English. Color. DCP.
