A joyous screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, with Doris Day heading the union in a clothing factory and Eddie Foy Jnr as an efficiency expert. Bob Fosse’s choreography is stunning, the songs (Hey there, Hernando’s Hideaway…) infectious, the props and colours vivid. At the same time, it is fast-moving, expert and as hard-hitting as it is splendidly performed and enjoyable. Jean-Luc Godard called it ‘the first left-wing operetta’.
