I was brought up in that era, the 50s and 60s was such a wonderful time to grow up in. I was a big fan of Doris Day and went to all her movies and bought all her records. I'm still a big fan of hers today. .
Doris will live forever in our memories and hearts! I was not even born at the time of this film, but I learn to admire her talent as a singer and actress! This number is so funny and the song is great for the stage! We love you Doris!
One of the FEW movies that used the original Broadway performers. With the exception of Doris Day and Barbara Nichols, all these ladies had 1000+ performances under their belt.
What I love about Doris Day wasn't just appeal her next door charms but her classy disposition. It is amazing when you see her with her stylist clothes she can compete with other actresses that are sophisticated.
This is wonderful, as is the whole movie. It's essentially the show filmed, so we have forever a record of a top 50s musical done at a time when the American musical itself was at its zenith. A wonderful native art, now, alas, mostly defunct.
I recall when the movie came out! :) Great staging. In answer to those taken back by actors not being good singers. Musical comedy actors are chosen first for their acting ability. If they can also sing in tune, so much the better. But it's not the main requirement. And thereby is the charm of a musical comedy. Singing out of tune is OK. Two good examples are (1) Walter Houston in "Knickerbocker Holiday," who was an actor foremost. Turns out his rendition of "September Song" is a classic. He wander off key. Thus composer Kurt Weill composed the song in a key range Houston could handle So did (2) Gertrude Lawrence in "The King and I" waver off musical pitch. BTW, yes, I compose music for musicals. :) Thanks for posting this.
I am 72 and was there when all these films were made. They were shown all over the globe to great audiences of happy fans. People did not mistake what they were seeing on the screen with daily life and they did not feel envious or sad because they were seeing glamour and richness on screen. They loved escaping daily life for a few hours and they were ready afterward to go back to real life. To inject some sort of political element where there was none is dishonest.
Doris Day always looks like she's about to crack up during the whole song. She's so cute throughout the song and sounds great. at 2:33 she looks at to the right of her and she's starts to kind of giggle.
I got the CD of the 1954 Orig BWY cast, Janis Paige was Babe. It's amazing how close this sounds to the Orig , but some of the words intro were changed.
All you gotta do is say hello to a man And they've got you whispering in his ear All you gotta do it seems is work for him And they've got you going beserk for him If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with They've got you setting the wedding date It seems they've just gotta have some dirt To bend your ear with So before you start, I herewith state I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I Not a bit, not a mite Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk o' guy But he's not my cup o' tea, not my cup o' tea, not he Not an ounce, not a pinch He's just an inch too sure of himself for me Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eyes Say, I'm sure he can cut most any man down to size He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I Not a straw, not a hair I don't care if he's as strong as a lion Or if he has the rest of ya sighin' You may be sold, but this girl ain't buyin' I'm not at all in love!

Naturally! Definitely! Obviously! Naturally! Definitely! Hah! She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she No, I'm not!

kitkat 12329 if there’s a guy you merely have a beer with They’ve got you setting the wedding date It seems they’ve just gotta have some dirt to bend your ear with But before you start I herewith state. :-)
The lyric was toned down for the movie. Doris couldn’t sing this couplet: All you gotta do is be polite with him And they have you spending the night with him
@@markschildberg1667 Yes. And having the Broadway cast album with Janis Paige, I'm used to that lyric. Ok for Broadway but not for the film. It was the late 50's and the censors were stricter. Also in the song "Small Talk" they changed the line, "Whatta think they charge for ham now, got so a buck ain't worth a damn now," to Whatta think they charge for fruit now, hot so a buck ain't worth a hoot now." I guess using the word "damn" was also a no-no in the film version.
Jean-Luc Godard the French director wrote a glowing review of this in the Cahiers du Cinema in the fifties. He called it 'the first Socialist Musical".
I would love to live in the 50s!!!!! it was a mush more simpler time and everything was grand about it!! the people, the music, the style, the way people danced, the way they sang, where the usual hangout was, I was born in the wrong time period and I tell that to myself everyday!
Sophia Sayegh yea it was a great time for women, gays and non whites. No thank you. Notice anyone other than white in this scene? No because the majority of races we're separated. African Americans sat in the back of the bus. Latinos were seen as half breeds... And gays... Well we better like our closets. Well if you're white racist anti feminist woman and pro life it would be perfect time.
However during this area there were movies like Carmen Jones, The Defiant Ones , West Side Story, Tea & Sympathy...and others. Yes, maybe a few but take a look. Rita Hayworth, for example, was Spanish descent from her father. Katy Jurado was Mexican....
@@arnolt2590 two examples of hard working latin women who made it... opposed to the hundreds of white actors/actresses who got in because of a certain "look." I love the music and aesthetic of the time, but OperaThesp is right... it wasn't a great time for minorities and anyone who disagrees is really ignorant about our countries history. Gay people were just allowed to marry in this country THIS decade. and segregation was still a big part of the 20th century.
We can see american very modern and fashion in the 50's at that time in the muscial. It would be very surprising and attractive if you could watch this musical in cinema in 50's while all place in the world still in poverty environment if you have a time machine back to that period of time.
Her films are shown and have been shown millions of times why is this film left behind especially since it is the only time Doris was nominated for the Oscar!
@meenyminymoe Reta Shaw is in this movie, but she isn't in this scene. I think the user was asking the name of the heavy-set woman in this scene (with the dark hair). Good knowledge, though! I adore Reta Shaw, and I love to see people know who she is! :D
Many of the original Broadway cast was retained for the film with the major exception being Doris Day replacing Janis Paige who I read was really pissed off about that.
mmcckkgg Janis was really pissed because originally she was supposed to be in it opposite Frank Sinatra as the male lead. When Frank backed out the studio insisted on one solid mainstream film star. So when they brought on John Raitt they cast Doris Day and Janis was dropped. I must admit I do feel bad for her, even though I prefer Doris' rendition of this song.
Coincidentally, three songs were dropped from the Broadway show for the film version: (1) A New Town Is a Blue Town (John Raitt); (2) Her Is (Carol Haney and Stanley Prager); and (3) Think of the Time I Save (Eddie Foy, Jr.). Which songs do you recall being cut from the film?
When Pajama Game was shown on TV in the 1960s on channel 9, these 3 songs were ALWAYS included. Now, on DVD, these songs are missing from the movie . Why?
@SingingFool123 I think if you were used to modern musicals were people open there mouths to sing and a computer generated vocal comes out then yes, this could be viewed as bad singing. What I like about it is that the imperfection of her voice is part of what makes it so beautfiful. I also like that in legitimate musical theatre the perfomers put their character into the singing, like here everyone is not singing perfectly, but would you expect a group of women in a factory to be great singers?
They cleaned up some of the lyrics for the movie of "Pajama Game" but it didn't significantly hurt the show. Doris Day is very good here. Why didn't she get cast in "South Pacific"?
unclealand I didn't either although I liked her in S.Pacific, her voice esp. "I'm as corny as springtime in Kansas...." but I saw her with my late wife in a small round theatre on Long Island, NY and she was amazing...funny, sexy, danced great and a one woman show with many costume changes... I didn't appreciate Ms.Day until later on and now I love her voice as well as her acting and esp. love that song on Pajama Game, "I'm not at all in love"...

Doris had such poise, grace and style. This is such an underrated musical.
I was brought up in that era, the 50s and 60s was such a wonderful time to grow up in. I was a big fan of Doris Day and went to all her movies and bought all her records. I'm still a big fan of hers today. .
It's like she's singing with an indignant tone in her voice.
She does it marvelously
She was a true legend. The last of the greats now gone :(
I'm an old hippie who disdained all this establishment stuff at the time. But yeah, I have to agree: Doris Day was a great talent.
One of the truly great movie stars!
"you're shouting...." lol
Doris will live forever in our memories and hearts! I was not even born at the time of this film, but I learn to admire her talent as a singer and actress! This number is so funny and the song is great for the stage! We love you Doris!
Honestly pretty darn fun
I love Doris Day. She radiates a wholesomeness that I adore.
One of the FEW movies that used the original Broadway performers. With the exception of Doris Day and Barbara Nichols,
all these ladies had 1000+ performances under their belt.
Rae Allen was also not in the film.
Not was Gwen Verdon; see would have been in the seen steam heat.
Gwen Verdon wasn't in the movie; she was in the steam heat seen.
@@lisatafil5196 There were three people in that scene, two men (one was Peter Genarro) and the woman in it was Carol Haney.
Barbara Nichols.... I love her. Great actress and should have gotten best supporting nomination for her role in Sweet Smell of Success.
Brilliant song and a great film. You could not go wrong watching this musical.
One of my faviorite musicals ever. Love it. It does not seem to get the attention it deserves. So many great musical pieces from this musical.
Doris outshines all the lovely ladies in this clip. A truly great testament to her talents.
what a talent Doris Day was!
One of the greatest female entertainers of the 20th Century. Full Stop. #RIP
I grew up with the record of the Pajama Game. Great stuff.
SHE WAS SO TALENTED IN EVERY THING SHE DID AND BROUGHT SUCH JOY TO ALL GOD BLESS
RIP Doris Day. Such a talented and bright woman!
Amen
What I love about Doris Day wasn't just appeal her next door charms but her classy disposition. It is amazing when you see her with her stylist clothes she can compete with other actresses that are sophisticated.
Angela, you are so right ; Doris could look as beautiful and glamorous as any of them yet still remain natural and sincere.
Doris Day. .. The Best!!!
This is wonderful, as is the whole movie. It's essentially the show filmed, so we have forever a record of a top 50s musical done at a time when the American musical itself was at its zenith. A wonderful native art, now, alas, mostly defunct.
From a time when they knew how to have fun. Fabulous!
RIP Doris Day 😍
Ish Omar wrong emoji 😭
I completely agree with you!! She is my favorite actress and singer, and meeting her is a total dream of mine also! =)
I’m actually doing this show this year at my high school, we open in 2 days. I love this musical so much, and I especially love this song.
This is my Doris Day.
I had to do the music for this in my last choir concert 10 yrs ago. I still love this movie.
I played Babe in a local production so this brings back amazing memories 🥰
My favorite Doris Day musical and one of the six best film adaptations of a Broadway show. Love seeing the original
Fosse.
Doris Day was literally the perfect person for this role. I'm not entirely sure how your school could have done it better lol :P
This film is so underrated. I love it, especially this song.
It reminds me of me and my friends teasing each other - it's so true to life!
..i think my mum and i went to see this film 5/6 times .. when it was in the cinemas! what a great movie this is!! one of my favorite tracks.. *****
just sang this for my singing showcase! It went down really well:) Love this song!
Yes I saw this movie in late 50's. I was in junior high. Bonners ferry Idaho at the rex theater. :)
I'm In Love...with this movie. For some reason it ALWAYS makes me smile and smile and smile.

who doesn't love the voice of dorris day!!
Honestly..
When I was in second grade I saw this live, now I'm in junior high. Also, rip Doris
This is our fall play for my high school this year.
I am 72 and was there when all these films were made. They were shown all over the globe to great audiences of happy fans.

My school is doing the Pajama Game and it's amazing so far! This is one of my favorite songs in the show
Gracias por tantas canciones y actuaciones maravillosas, que Dios te guarde.
¡Please: the film complete! Desde Chile, te saluda Miguel.
I love factory girls in full skirts, crolines and heels.
I saw this play at my high school. AMAZING :DDD
Doris Day always looks like she's about to crack up during the whole song. She's so cute throughout the song and sounds great. at 2:33 she looks at to the right of her and she's starts to kind of giggle.
I was in this show at my sleep away camp!
@Aldolinozinho I totally, totally agree!! Thank you for the lovely comment. Who knows, maybe Doris will read it one day. ;)
Our school did this play
Musical I meant
The highschool a few miles from me is performing this
Soooo nice! Thanks Doris!
I got the CD of the 1954 Orig BWY cast, Janis Paige was Babe. It's amazing how close this sounds to the Orig , but some of the words intro were changed.
Grand xx
i love this song
First live stage musical I ever saw.
Love Love Love!
@DorisDayFanatic ha ha! I've been singing it all around the house! :)
My school is doing this :)
Doing this for broadway can't wait
cool song!!!
❤️
Cool, man!
We're doing this senior play on May 25,2016
cool song! :)
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear
All you gotta do it seems is work for him
And they've got you going beserk for him
If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date
It seems they've just gotta have some dirt
To bend your ear with
So before you start, I herewith state
I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a bit, not a mite
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk o' guy
But he's not my cup o' tea, not my cup o' tea, not he
Not an ounce, not a pinch
He's just an inch too sure of himself for me
Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eyes
Say, I'm sure he can cut most any man down to size
He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad
But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a straw, not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of ya sighin'
You may be sold, but this girl ain't buyin'
I'm not at all in love!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no
Not a pin, not a crumb
Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
'Cos she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries
Not a snip, not a bite
Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her eyes
He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it
But this lady's heart he doesn't effect a bit
It's easy to see that her daffy grin is the grin she always wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Hah!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she
No, I'm not!
Not a dot
Not a touch
No, not much
When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
'Cos you will know from the way that I shout it
Your shouting
I haven't fallen
She hasn't fallen
I'm not at all in love!
She's not at all in love!

@kewlkat8208 I was in my high school choir.
They cleaned up some of the lyrics for the movie of "Pajama Game" but it didn't significantly hurt the show. Doris Day is very good here. Why didn't she get cast in "South Pacific"?
She is great...but they cast the amazing Mitzi Gaynor in South Pacific and she could hold her own against anybody, looks, voice and dance ability.
jms34668 Never got Mitzi Gaynor's appeal.
unclealand I didn't either although I liked her in S.Pacific, her voice esp. "I'm as corny as springtime in Kansas...." but I saw her with my late wife in a small round theatre on Long Island, NY and she was amazing...funny, sexy, danced great and a one woman show with many costume changes... I didn't appreciate Ms.Day until later on and now I love her voice as well as her acting and esp. love that song on Pajama Game, "I'm not at all in love"...
jms34668 Wonder why they kept shooting everyone in "South Pacific" through an amber lens. It gave everyone a hepatitis appearance.
+unclealand Supposedly at the time, since color was such a novelty, it was fashionable for films to color film with those lenses for artistic effect, and supposedly (I've been told) audiences responded favorably to it.
It's similar to the reason why we have that horrible grey-blue wash filter on films nowadays that washes out any and all colors, only for the opposite reason.
Great! Are you in it? =)
LOL "your shouting"
well.. to be technical, it's "you're" shouting..
@DorisDayFanatic It's Reta Shaw.
I ALWAYS FIND THE CONNECTION WITH JANIS PAGE AND DORIS DAY STRANGE...DORIS AND JAN CO STARED IN "ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS" IN 1948...TEN YEARS LATTER THEY WERE IN "WITH SIX YOU GET EGG ROLES"...BUT BOTH STARED IN "PAJAMA GAME"...WEIRD IRONY...WONDER IF THEY LIKED EACH OTHER...ALWAYS STRANGE THAT JANICE WAS ALWAYS DUBBED IN HEREARLY FILMS..EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD A GREAT VOICE...
As much as I admire Doris Day, still wish I was watching and listening to Janis Paige. No one can match the quality of her voice.
