The much loved Broadway musical made its big-screen debut here
and notably featured several of the original stage cast (e.g. John Raitt and Carol Haney).
Doris was however drafted in to replace the show's original female lead --
Janis Paige.
The tuneful tale
of pyjamas, love and labour union vs. management conflicts is
brought to life by some impressive dance numbers from pioneering choreographer
Bob Fosse.
Five decades after the film premiered, Warner Bros. (USA)
released a DVD
revealing a deleted scene of Doris singing the gorgeous
ballad The Man Who Invented Love. This was originally cut
from the movie in favour of a reprise of the tune Hey There.
