I can’t understand why this DVD doesn’t rate a total 5 stars here! It’s one of the best DVDs I have because it looks absolutely heavenly, the songs are grand, the state is funny - but so what?, the admire legend is mammoth, the chemistry between John Raitt and Doris Day is out of this world, the “extra” on the DVD is friendly (an outtake from the film of Doris singing a song that was dropped from the film!) …I can’t derive enough of this DVD! It should earn awards for relate quality! If I wanted to sell someone on DVDs in general, I’d steal this DVD as evidence of their superiority over videos. And whatta FUN film!!
Labor relations in a pajama factory. This is the world into which songwriters Adler and Ross managed to weave a string of Broadway standards (”Hey There”, “Hernando’s Hideaway”) in the musical “The Pajama Game”.
In 1955 it opened on Broadway with legendary director George Abbot at the helm and newcomer Bob Fosse making his debut as choreographer. John Raitt (the unusual Billy Bigalow in “Carousel”), Eddie Foy Jr., and Retta Shaw all earned praise for their work and Carol Haney delivered a career-making performance in a supporting role. (A week after the note opened, Carol Haney was ill so her understudy, chorus girl Shirley McLaine, went on in the allotment with no rehearsal. She was a immense success, especially to film producer Hal Ashby who was in the audience to survey Haney. He brought McLaine to Hollywood to star in his upcoming Hitchcock film, which started Shirley’s career.)
In 1957 Warner Brothers brought the entire cast and production team from Unusual York to do the film version. All, that is, but one. Janice Paige was replaced by Doris Day as Babe Williams, the feisty union garment worker opposite John Raitt’s suave role as Pajama Factory manager, Sid Sorokin.

Doris Day comes across with a bit more grit in both her acting and her roar than many may be expecting. But she makes a mountainous Babe - whether belting “I’m Not At All in Appreciate” or cooing the romantic ballad “Hey There”. John Raitt is equally adept as Sid and does so well with his tough guy profitable looks, that you wonder why Hollywood failed to cast him in any of his previous stage hits. But it’s that fat baritone impart that knocks you over. A philosophize of such lush timbre that contemporaries like Frank Sinatra and Gordon McRae pale in comparison.
Carol Haney is a hoot as the zany (and at one point hilariously drunk) bookkeeper, Gladys. And Eddy Foy Jr, a used vaudeville clown shows off as her insanely jealous boyfriend. (Ever hear of Eddie Foy and the Seven Limited Foy’s? That’s where Eddie Jr. got his commence with his father and siblings.) The script also allows runt chorus parts like Barbara Nichols as the dopey blond Poopsie, Thelma Pelish as the zaftig Mae, and Jack Straw as the nebbish Prez to shine in their roles and even gives them some of the best lines. (Mae: I like a man with spunk. Poopsie: You like a man, period!)
Broadway’s George Abbot teamed with Stanley Donen (”Singing in the Rain”) as director. But the other breakout talent here was Bob Fosse (”Cabaret” and “All That Jazz”), doing his first (credited) choreography for film. He stages the star turns (Day’s “Not at All in Esteem” and Raitt’s “Shrimp Talk”, for example) like a pro. But he shines in the chorus numbers. Once a Year Day” explodes in athletic dances reminiscent of Michael Kidd (”Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “Hello Dolly”) . And the mysterious “Hernando’s Hideaway” is done in total darkness with the singers lit only when they strike a match.

But the number that shows us what Fosse would become is undeniably “Steam Heat”. What would normally have been a throw-away number (a exiguous amateur entertainment for a union rally) is infused with the slinky, inverted style that would become his trademark. No one had ever seen anything like it in 1957, and it “stops the reveal”, so to say, were that possible in film.
For all the music and droll shenanigans, the film never looses the flavor of working class people in a dinky factory town. “Pajama Game” may not top its contemporaries like “Gigi” and “Singing in the Rain” - but it’s not trying to. It’s objective a lop of middle America filled with some blooming song and dance numbers and some of the top Broadway stars of the day.
