"One of the greatest musicals ever."—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
At the Sleeptite Pajama Factory in Cedar Rapids, the unionized workers are agitating for a raise of seven and a half cents per hour. Sid Sorokin, the new superintendent, falls for Babe Williams, a worker and, importantly, an organizer with the union. What will come first, labor or love? With winning performances from John Raitt and Doris Day, a classic score, and Bob Fosse's earliest work on film, The Pajama Game is a high watermark for both the Golden Age of Musicals and labor on film.
