Movie Reviews of The Pajama Game
Movie Review: Overblown
Summary: 3 Stars
If you like musicals, this is the movie for you. It is overblown with song and dance and short on story. But that's OK if it's what you like. It's just that there are other musicals that are better with more memorable songs.
Another thing is Day's hairdo. Whoever was responsible for it should have been fired. Doris Day is a beautiful woman, and her hairdo made her look butch.
They did a great job of restoring the color, though.

interesting seeing how films change in their production style over the years. fun remembering some of the songs i had forgotten.Movie Review: Keep your Day job
Summary: 2 Stars
Doris, why did you star in this movie? It is obvious the script was no motivation. Workers are sabotaging the plant because they want a seven-cent raise! Were you in need of movie residuals that badly?
Watching this movie is both painful and embarassing. If anyone in their right mind walks in while you are viewing it, they are bound to ask: "WHAT in the world are you watching?" I could only imagine what it must be like to risk tarnishing a fantastic career by STARING in it. I just could not take it in one sitting. Shock and disbelief prompted me to repeat my transgression by viewing in small doses. It took three attempts during a week of persistence and hot coffee to endure the relentless silly-lyric song-and-dance routines. Every other word triggers synchronized bellowing with cartwheels and soft-shoe taps in this romantic-comedy musical. For its time, some of the choreography may be good but there is so much of it, the story, which is weak to begin with, is buried. On average, there is two minutes of acting between each of the 23 songs.
Fortunately, Doris Day was prolific enough that THE PAJAMA GAME does not mar her good reputation. The redeeming value of the movie is her flattering haircut. TEACHER'S PET, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, SEND ME NO FLOWERS (bad-hair Day), and LOVER COME BACK are all delightful. This is precisely the reason I was so shocked with THE PAJAMA GAME. If you want to see a good musical, watch SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, WEST SIDE STORY or close your eyes and pick another Day film.
I expect most of my films to be four or more stars because I read and trust the reviews of others before purchasing. This was one case where I was totally fooled. Even with the creative mind of Bob Fosse and energetic antics of androgynous Carol Haney, there is no way I can conceivably recommend this film with more than two stars. Despite the anticipated negative votes from devoted Day fans, I may hopefully save others from disenchantment.
Movie Review: Not a sleeper
Summary: 2 Stars
I now know why I had not heard much about this movie. Only buy it if you like Broadway musicals because it is not your typical Doris Day movie. I feel like I am watching parts of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the prince says "I just want to sing".Movie Review: the pajama Game

The Pajama Game and Damm Yankees which I purchased in January, the sound was not good. I had to turn my TV sound up to its highest level in order to hear. I was very disapointed with the sound quality.
