DVD Reviews of Gypsy

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.

DVD Review: Terrific
Summary: 5 Stars

You can not beat Rosalind Russell in this film she is a powerhouse with an amazing supporting cast! The only thing is I would have choosen a singer to dub her with a higher voice. I like Peters more than Lupone so that explains that. This movie takes you on a wonderful two and a half hour ride. This musical works because it is solid from start to finish. Ms. Wood is constantly complementing the domineering mother. The different periods of the ride are all equally entertaining. No wonder this story keeps getting told on stage on Broadway, it is truly great. Thank you for getting it right Hollywood with the most talented Russell, i just love her. No one like her today or ever in my opinion!

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
