Summary: One of the greatest musicals ever made ! ! ! ! !
Comment: I was so ecstatic to see this movie! I'm 50 years old and hadn't seen this classic since I was a kid (years after on t.v.) I truly recommend this movie young and old alike, a timeless love story.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Damn good
Comment: An oldie but goodie, Ray Walston at his best years before Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Gwen Verdon when hot was more than cosmetic. Very good transition from stage to film. Excellent story.

Summary: damn yankees
Comment: It was excellent. The only problem that I had with it was that it was in wide screen with bars at top and bottom.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: RUINED!
Comment: I had seen the movie years ago and it was hugely entertaining. The DVD release, however, is a butchered mess. Only about 4 songs remain, they have edited out entire sequences and plot lines, the film doesn't even make sense anymore....absolutely ridiculous. Whoever is responsible for releasing this garbage should be imprisoned. DY is an American musical treasure, but you could not tell from this abomination.

Summary: Damn Yankees
Comment: While musicals were never really my forte, I saw this one at the movies when I was a kid and loved it .... still do. Ray Walston was a HOOT !

Starring the original Broadway cast this is the musical adaptation of the novel "The Year The Yankees Won The Pennant" with a score by Adler & Ross ("The Pajama Game") and choreography by Bob Fosse. Washington Senators fan Joe Boyd sells his soul to the devil Mr. Applegate to become the greatest baseball player ever and to help his favorite team win the pennant. However doing this means Joe must leave his beloved wife Meg and it's not easy on him. Whenever he poses as a boarder to get closer to her Applegate must enlist the help of his favorite seductive helper Lola. But not even Lola's charms can woo Joe. Soon she finds herself falling for him but pledges to be his friend. Joe and Applegate make a contract allowing him out of the deal at a certain time but the devil makes sure that Joe doesn't get out. When Lola finds out about this she slips him four sleeping pills so he can sleep through the game the next day allowing Joe to help the Senators win the pennant. However Satan awakes and after turning Lola into an old hag turns Joe back into an old man on the field who returns to his wife.Running Time: 110 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â COMEDY UPC:Â 085393197025
