Step up to the plate for 'Damn Yankees', the rousing movie of the 1,019-performance Broadway grandslam that imports nearly all the original New York lineup, including Tony® Award-winning stars Gwen Verdon as luscious vamp Lola and Ray Walstonias her slyly Satanic boss Applegate. Hollywood's Tab Hunter suits up as a potential lost soul and Washington Senators slugger Joe Hardy, revealing a freewheeling fun side unseen in previous roles. 'The Pajama Game' duo of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross serve up and out-of-the-park home-run score, including 'Whatever Lola Wants' and 'Heart'. Choreographer Bob Fosse provides all the right moves, and he joins Verdon on theiscreen in performing 'Who's Got the Pain?' No pain here, just pure pleasure.
