Cheap But Entertaining, 20 July 2006
6/10
Author: richard-crystal from United States

This was (sadly) my very first exposure to this classic musical and one of the cheapest productions of any show I have ever seen. Even the baseball players and the fans were cardboard! Though not a major fan of Phil Silvers, he was delicious as Mr. Applegate and Lee Remick's Lola melted the TV screen. The musical numbers were mostly shot as colorful still life (remember this was the psychedelic 60s!). Linda Lavin, pre-"Alice" , is Gloria the tough female reporter. Fran Allison (of Kukla, Fran & Ollie fame) is mediocre as Joe's suffering wife. I have never seen a soundtrack for this production most likely because it wasn't in the budget! I sincerely doubt it's even available on DVD or VHS but almost 30 years later it would really be fun to watch if only for old-times sake!
