| Both movies are bring shown on Amazon. Pajama is never shown on tcm due to Warner Bros having the rights. The film is not that clear. HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS AND DOLLS! |

| Both of these musicals have indeed been shown on TCM, in the correct theatrical ratio. TCM uses both the Warner library, and the MGM titles that Warner now owns and controls, as the majority of their programming, They WILL also occasionally license and show titles from 20th Century Fox, Columbia, and other studios when there is a focus on a certain performer, writer, or director and they (rightly) want to include a title they don't already control. For those of us who enjoy owning a physical copy of media (and notice how often things disappear from streaming due to licensing agreements), both those Adler/Ross musical films have decent quality dvd versions, and you also get the delight of a cut song "The Man Who Invented Love" sung by Doris Day on the PAJAMA dvd. Plus you get to see our beloved, and just lost, Harvey Evans-as a teenager!- in the "Hernando's Hideaway" number! |

| Warning though. Both are terrible prints re-framed for the shape of old TV screens. But if you can ignore that, Day, Raitt, Verdon, and yes, even Tab Hunter shine! I'm just now discovering Day's earlier musicals. None of them great, but pleasant enough, And she's fantastic in them. Her singing and dancing are so alive. So different from the 60's Day. | |

| I believe that a restored version of THE PAJAMA GAME will be shown at this year’s TCM Film Festival in late April. Perhaps that bodes well for their eventually airing it. | |

| The films of "The Pajama Game" and "Damn Yankees" have received good-looking Blu-ray releases in the last year or so. | |
