The Pajama Game (1957)

Mr. Hasler, the penny-pinching boss of Sleeptite Pajama Factory, does not want to give his employees a seven-and-a-half-cent raise. After hiring Sid Sirokin as superintendent, Hasler asks his secretary Gladys Hotchkiss to show Sid around the plant. Seeing his girl friend Gladys with Sid, Hines, Sleeptite's foreman imagines she is flirting with him and vents his jealousy by yelling at his staff to "hurry up,". Two days later, while trying to get a lazy young man to do his job, impatiently shoves him. The man then complains to the Grievance Committee that he is in great pain. The committee, chaired by Catherine "Babe" Williams, looks into the accusations. Later, after the company nurse reports that young man is a "faker," the committee drops the case. The strong and handsome Sid has made an impression on the females in the company, who note that Babe, too, seems taken with him. Bob Fosse is in charge of choreography.

Romantic Comedy: Teacher's Pet (1958).

Teacher's Pet(1958). Cast: Clark Gable and Doris Day. It was directed by George Seaton and co-starred Gig Young and Mamie Van Doren.

The story begins when Stone asks Gannon to speak before a night-school college journalism class. He turns down the invitation, writing a nasty letter to the instructor saying that education is “a waste of time” for anyone who would like to get into the newspaper business and that experience is the only thing important. There he finds the attractive Stone teaching the class. Before he is able to introduce himself and apologize for the letter, Erica reads the letter aloud to the class.

Wanting revenge, he decides to join the class, posing as a wallpaper salesman named Jim Gallagher. Erica is quite taken by him and Gannon is quite taken with Erica. When Erica discovers Gannon's true idenity, she breaks off their relationship. Will Gannon win back her heart?

Young At Heart(1954)

Young at Heart (1954). Directed by Gordon Douglas. It was a remake of the 1938 film Four Daughters. Cast: Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Gig Young, Ethel Barrymore, Alan Hale, Jr and Dorothy Malone and was the first of five films that Gordon Douglas directed with Frank Sinatra.

When Alex Burke a song-writer, meets the musically talented Tuttle family, all three daughters are charmed by him him. Laurie Tuttle and Alex seem to be the perfect match. They soon become engaged, that all changes when a friend of Alex's Barney Sloan, comes to the Tuttle home to help with some musical arrangements. That is when the trouble begins.

I thought this was a great film. The puppy scene with Laurie and Alex is very charming.

Loved the set of the Tuttles home. It really looked like a real street with gardens and picket fences and we see it change with the seasons. The the clam-bake on the beach scene, is also very well done scene.

Another scene that stood out for me was when, Barney stays in the background during the family birthday party, showing us that he was not comfortable with family life.

Fun Facts:
The film was untitled until Frank Sinatra's "Young at Heart" became a hit.

Feature film debut of Lonny Chapman.

Ethel Barrymore was very old and feeble during the filming and spent most of her time in a wheelchair. She was getting frail and had to conserve her energy for her onscreen performance. Frank Sinatra threw a surprise birthday party for her on the set.

Doris...cute as a button

I love this pic of Doris because she looks so cute and innocent. A great photo.

This is great historic behind-the-scenes filming of her 1970's special.
