"The Pajama Game" film was released on this day (8/29/1957)! Bosley Crowther of The New York Times said the movie was "as good as it was on the stage, which was quite good enough for many thousand happy customers over a period of a couple of years. It is fresh, funny, lively and tuneful. Indeed, in certain respects—such as when they all go on the factory picnic—it is even more lively than it was on the stage."
