Based on the hit Broadway musical, featuring the Choreography of Bob Fosse. Doris Day shines in this classic Broadway adaptation.rnrnLabor and management at the Sleeptite Pajama Factory aren't getting much sleep lately: a proposed 7-1/2-cent hourly wage increase is the reason and a job action just may be the result. But not to worry: negotiating strategies here involve snappy stars, terrific tunes and dynamic dances, all part of one of the most infectiously joyful stage/screen musicals ever. Doris Day and a Broadway-seasoned supporting cast play The Pajama Game, the lighthearted, nimble-footed movie that whips the unlikely musical-comedy subject of a labor/management dispute into a buoyant, romantic delight. Day is Babe Williams, head of the employees' grievance committee, who strikes sparks with shop superintendent Sid Sorokin (John Raitt in his only opportunity to play on of his stage triumph on film). And where there are spark, "Steam Heat" results. For the songs by Damn Yankees duo Richard Adler and Jerry Ross and the choreography by Bob Fosse (Cabaret, Sweet Charity) are too combustible to pass up, all under the direction of two musical masters of stage and screen, George Abbott and Stanley Donen. Besides "Steam Heat" (showcasing the quirky brilliance of dancer Carol Haney), catch "Hey There," "I'm Not at All in Love," "Hernando's Hideaway," "Small Talk," "Once-a-Year Day," "There Once Was a Man" and other all-time greats.

The Pajama Game is a muscial injected with vigor and energy. It deals with the employers and employees of a pajama factory, in which the latter threatens strike if they don't get a wage rise. Doris Day comes in as the union's grievance counsellor who encourages workers' rights much to the dismay of newly appointed employer John Raitt, who is torn between his attraction towards Day and disdain towards her politics. The narrative is nicely set around a memorable score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, including such tunes as the title song, "Hey There," "There Once Was a Man" and "Hernando's Hideaway" among others. The supporting cast including Carol Haney, Eddie Foy Jr and Reta Shaw among others add real colour and humor to the story. The film is infectious fun fused with politics that makes for an interesting hybrid. It is highly recommended.

Doris Day's best films are usually the ones that pair her with Rock Hudson, but "The Pajama Party", which doesn't, is still pretty entertaining, even for a musical. Bob Fosse did the choreography which looks very impressive and the songs aren't too bad either. Definitely a feel good movie, and a lot of fun.
