When I was very young, one of the local TV stations would have a movie they would repeat through the week. That was how I was introduced to this musical and my parents also had the sound track record. It remains one of my favourite musicals both stage and movie.

Weird that the record is stereo, but the film was only released in mono.

Gwen Verdon is fantastic and and Tab Hunter was appropriately hunky.

Gwen would've been a great Harley Quinn if that character existed in Adam West's Batman.

We used to watch Damn Yankees every year for the full five week nights it was on, on Movie Of The Week in the 60’s, Gwen Verdon os my favorite dancer of all time, with her Fosse perfection ❤

WOW! Gwen Verdun is the best dancer I've ever. She can do EVERYTHING. I've never seen this movie and I'm new to Miss Verdun but now I must have more!

Terrific performance par excellence! Chroreography was great! I wonder how many takes this scene went through to make it seem almost flawless! Gwen Verdon was a stunner and so was Tab Hunter who fits perfectly for the role. An classic example of Hollywood filmmaking at its finest.

@boinx1234

Since Gwen had performed this choreography hundreds of times on Broadway, I doubt she needed more than a couple takes.

Yes. I said the same

unique? no, I don't think so but it's okay to disagree now and then

@@jamesduggan7200 ...i say unique in that " a regular "Joe" sells (almost) his soul to the devil to become a young sports figure, only to have the devils messenger, in the shape of a temptress , challenged (to get the job done), and become "two lost souls", with a righteous ending. Sports + musical + fantasy = unique.
