| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Lovely and lively musical |
| Kate "Babe "Williams (Doris Day at her most radiant)works in a pajama factory whose workers want a raise-to be precise a 7.5 cents raise .The management refuses and Babe heads up a grievance committee and takes the complaint to the shop superintendant Sid Sorokin (John Raitt).Things start to get complicated when the two fall in love.
I am very much of the view that this is the ideal way to make a movie from a Broadway musical .For one thing the camera movement is brilliantly fluid and inventive ;the camera dances along with the performers .The camera even becomes a dance partner during a comic tango sequence performed -brilliantly by Carol Haney .The camera movement is splendid ,the pans and tracking shots are innovative and sparkling .It helps make this the liveliest of Broadway musical to movie transitions I know of. Bob Fosse's choreography is energetic and inventive ,the score is bright anf memorable.It includes much loved numbers such as Hey There ,There Once Was a Man ( fun Day-Raitt duet),Once a Year Day and I'm Not At All In love .Kudos to George Abbott and Richard Bissell for this . Day is enchanting and she manages to look utterly captivating even when unflatteringly clad in pajamas .There is good support from Haney ,Eddie Foy Junior and Barbara Nichols while Raitt is in good voice throughout. This a movie that moves and is a celebration of the Broadway musical and the art of dance .Not to be missed .It is simply enormous fun ;go enjoy! |
