DVD Reviews of Gypsy

DVD Review: No Introductions Necessary
Summary: 5 Stars

Gypsy needs no introductions! This classic is fabulous for young or olde; olde fans and newcomers. A musical extravaganza based (loosely) on the life of notorious stripper Gypsy Rose Lee adapted from the celebrated play. The film is really a mother/daughter struggle where the mother's dreams are lived through her children. When the child that "Mama" pins all of her dreams on leaves the act she has no choice but to continue her pursuit by attaching them to her other daughter. This daughter's talents and charms are severely lacking and it seems failure is immenent until one purformance changes her life for ever. The cast includes Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and Karl Malden. A superior job by all! While not even remotely graphic by today's standards some parents may still want to exercise caution where smaller children are concerned as some subjects are mature.

DVD Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was excited to get Gypsy because I hadn't seen it in over 10 years! I received it within 3 days and I watched it right away. It was in great condition and still the great movie I remember it to be. That's all I have to say and now I'm going to go watch it again. Have a good one!

DVD Review: Sophisticated musical lacks zip
Summary: 3 Stars

An unusually sophisticated musical based on the memoirs of striptease artiste Gypsy Rose Lee. Well acted by Rosalind Russell, Karl Malden, and Natalie Wood but it lacks zip - the fake looking sets don't help, neither does Rosalind Russell's obvious lip synching - and when you see Gypsy Rose Lee's idea of stripping in the latter part of the film you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

DVD Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my favorite movies! Natalie Wood is great! A must see if you enjoy great Hollywood Musicals!

DVD Review: One of the classics
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this movie when it came to theaters in the early 1960's, and I loved it just as much watching it again. This is one of those movies that I will watch again and again.

Description of Gypsy

Everything comes up roses when you let Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and Karl Malden entertain you in the lavish movie musical of the Broadway hit about Gypsy Rose Lee and her formidable mother. Year: 1962 Director: Mervyn LeRoy Starring: Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden
Widely considered, top to bottom, one of the finest musicals in Broadway history, Gypsy got lucky in its film version. Granted, Rosalind Russell doesn't have the bell-ringing voice one craves for in "Everything's Coming Up Roses," but as a domineering stage mom, she's truly fearsome. Trouping through vaudeville with her is her daughter, the future celebrity stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, played by Natalie Wood in all her youthful lusciousness. The production is studio-bound, but this actually fits the unreal show-biz world depicted. The Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim score has no weak spots, and some of the burlesque numbers ("Let Me Entertain You" and the riotous "You Gotta Get a Gimmick") are so authentic, you'd swear they were at least 100 years old. Gypsy is one of those big, somewhat stately musicals that does satisfying credit to its stage origins; no cinematic ground-breaking here, but a swell way to spend a rainy afternoon. --Robert Horton
