The Pajama Game has some really cute songs, but most people who aren't musical aficionados haven't even heard of it. The major problem with it is the actual story; it's not at all interesting. A new foreman in a factory doesn't want to give his workers a raise so they go on strike. If there weren't any songs, it would be a terrible movie.
Thankfully, there are songs, and there are Doris Day and John Raitt to sing them! Almost all of the songs are engrossing, so you'll probably find yourself forgetting there's a non-singing story in-between the numbers. Doris is adorable when she sings "I'm Not At All In Love", John's voice shines out as he sings "Hey There", and the two of them are dynamite during the romantic duet "There Once Was a Man". I don't own the movie, but I do have the soundtrack, which is very fun to listen to! Even the supporting characters have their own delightful songs, like Carol Haney's "Hernando's Hideaway" and Eddie Foy Jr.'s "I'll Never Be Jealous Again".
The Pajama Game is a very cute movie with some funny jokes thrown into the lyrics and great chemistry between the two leads. If you like musicals but haven't seen this one yet, definitely check it out. It's best kept for the spring or summer, since there's a fun scene at the annual fair and everyone frolics in the sunshine.
