  Janis Paige - Biography - Moviefone
Back in Hollywood, Paige watched as her stage roles went to bigger actresses (the star of the filmization of Pajama Game was her old rival at Warners, Doris Day), but she managed to secure one memorable movie role as an Esther Williams-like aquatic movie star in 1957's Silk Stockings.
Janis was permitted one strong number, "Stereophonic Sound," with costar Fred Astaire, and copped most of the film's laughs as she slapped herself in the head to get the water out of her ears during interviews.
As busy off-camera as on, Janis Paige was the founder of the Sunset Plaza Civic Association; and after the death of her composer husband Ray Gilbert (who penned "Zip-i-dee-Doo-Dah"), Paige was placed in charge of Gilbert's Ipanema Music Company.

To this end, Miss Janis Paige, Warner Bros. screen star, was elected to reign as Miss Damsite of 1947.
Miss Janis Paige's selection as Damsite queen seems very appropriate in view of her many activities which were developed in this Pacific Northwest.
Miss Paige, who was born Donna Mae Jaden, chose the first part of her screen name in honor of the late Elsie Janis, beloved entertainer of troops during World War I. Paige was her maternal grandmother's name, so she adopted that.

Steve Canfield (Fred Astaire) is a Hollywood producer in Paris who plans to make a film starring a famous film star (Janis Paige), using the music of a famous Soviet composer who isn´t thrilled at returning to Moscow.
Janis Paige plays a character who has no subtlety, and she delivers the song the same way.
Cyd Charisse, having previously wrapped her endless legs around Fred in The Band Wagon, plays the Greta Garbo role: a humorless Soviet functionary who sternly refuses the allure of Paris… for a while, anyway.

That fine singer John Raitt leads the cast, which also includes Janis Paige, Carol Haney and Eddie Foy Jnr.
This seems a wise substitution in retrospect, since re-listening to this cast recording reveals that Paige is the weak link in the cast.
She has lots of spirit and spunk, not to mention a brassy voice, but is way off the pitch at times and lacks Day's strong womanly charm.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : Silk Stockings
And after Steve gets the agents wrapped around his capitalist finger, it is the iron-willed Ninotchka Yoschenko (Charisse) who is sent to straighten things out, complicated by Steve's claim that Boroff's father was a French traveling salesman.
Directed by Rouben Mamoulien in the (at the time) newer CinemaScope ratio, one can see — as with many of the early 'scope films — that the old-time directors couldn't stand the format and didn't know what to do with it.
There's even a good song-and-dance number in the film dedicated to the intrusions of modern technology (entitled "Stereophonic Sound") wherein Astaire and Paige riff on why both the wider picture and new audio technology are obnoxious.

 Movie Info for One Sunday Afternoon on MSN Movies
This third film version of James Hagan's stage play One Sunday Afternoon was directed by Raoul Walsh, who helmed the second adaptation (1941's Strawberry Blonde).
Unbeknownst to his ever-loving wife Virginia (Janis Paige), who has stood by him through thick and thin, Biff schemes to exact an awful revenge on the two-faced Barnstead-only to discover in the nick of time that he's been better off all along because he didn't wed the avaricious Amy.
Though consistently pretty to look at, One Sunday Afternoon pales in comparision to the earlier movie adaptations of the Hagan play, especially Strawberry Blonde, which had the added benefit of Jimmy Cagney in the lead.

A lively remake of Cole Porter's hit Broadway show, 'Ninotchka', in which Fred Astaire appears in his last great musical role, supported by Cyd Charisse, Janis Paige and Peter Lorre.
Produced at a time when fans of musicals were beginning to wane, this is an absolute classic.
