Based on the Broadway musical, this film adaption features several actors from the stage cast including John Raitt and Carol Haney. Doris was drafted in to replace the show's original female lead -- Janis Paige. 

With pioneering choreographer Bob Fosse responsible for the dance numbers the tuneful tale of pajamas, love and labor union vs. management conflicts are brought to life ! 

Song highlights are I'm Not At All In Love, There Once Was a Man and Hernando's Hideaway.

Promotional Stills/Posters

It's also worth noting that the American DVD release premiers a deleted scene in which Doris sings The Man Who Invented Love. From what I understand this track was excluded in favour of a reprise of Hey There.
