Customer Reviews of Gypsy
And we'll have a real good time! I've seen countless versions of Gypsy from movie to stage and have never been disappointed in any of them. For the film version Rosalind Russell, one of my all time favorite actresses shines bright as Mamma Rose. Critics tore her apart but they are nothing but want-to-be actors anyway. I know enough about theatre to see that Rosalind had everything it took for this part and next to Angela she is my next choice.For Louise, Natalie Wood also shines and has given this role all the class of a great Broadway performance. She's beautiful and next to West Side Story the role of Gypsy (Louise) is what i'll always remember her for.The movie production itself isn't bad. I would have liked it more if they stayed closer to the stage version but considering Hollywood they did do a wonderful job. The Stereo 5.1 Sound is breathtaking, the colors are sharp and the extras are very much appreciated but don't know why they just didn't edit them into this production.You won't be disappointed, you'll enjoy all the wonderful songs, wonderful production numbers and see really fine actors of yesterday at their very best. "And you'll have a very good time."
Rosalind is amazing
I thought I wouldn't see Rosalind Russell in a better role than in His Girl Friday. But then I saw Gypsy, and was once again blown away by her talent. She plays a mother that is simply obsessed with being a mother--and stayin' in show biz. Russell won a Golden Globe for Best Actress as Rose in this film.
Natalie Wood plays Russell's daughter, Louise. Poor Louise has always been overshadowed by her "famous" sister, June. But once June gets fed up with doing the same baby performance every year on Vaudeville, she decides to run away.
Heartbroken, Rose tries to turn Louise into a star. The result? Louise becomes a stripper named Gypsy Rose Lee. The catch? She never actually strips (how could they get away with that in a 1962 movie?).
Karl Malden is also in the film, playing Herbie, who falls in love with Rose--only to regret it later.
My favorite song in this movie is "Rose's Turn"--sung obviously by Rose. Russell has such power, and it is such a moving piece. Other great songs are "You'll Never Get Away From Me," "Small World," and the movie's theme, "I Had A Dream."
This movie is an amazing classic that all should see!
You gotta get "Gypsy" if you wanna get ahead!
Buy this wonderful DVD issue of the 1962 "Gypsy" NOW! Fantastic color, film quality, sound...it's like seeing it for the first time. Wonderful stars and music. The two numbers "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" and "Let Me Entertain You" alone are worth the price. When Natalie takes those long legs to the runway, circling the stage performing the latter - whew - TOO hot to handle! "That's how burlesque was born!"
