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!DVD Review: Leonard Who?
Summary: 3 Stars
There's a reason that Arthur Laurents is a film and theater legend, and Leonard Spigelgass, who adapted Laurents' book for the musical "Gypsy" to the screen is...well, not. Spigelgass took a taut, witty, emotionally and psychologically complex script and turned it into a padded, flabby mess; all that's good about the dialogue is lifted directly from the original. That said, there's a lot to enjoy about this film, primarily the performances. Her dubbed singing aside, I think Rosiland Russell is a fabulous Rose: driven, obsessive, flirtatious, vulnerable. As much as I would have loved to have a record of Ethel Merman's performance, she wasn't much of an actress. Russell finds subtlety and nuance in the character that Merman would have missed with a map and a blowtorch. I always felt about Natalie Wood that she was fundamentally unaware of how gorgeous she was; she had a fragile insecurity about her, and it's ideal for Louise. It's probably my favorite performance of hers, particularly as she blossoms, much to her surprise, into Gypsy Rose Lee. Malden is a solid, if overly strong, Herbie; he should have brought out more of his inner milquetoast, which is closer to the character as originally written. Which brings us back again to Mr. Spigelgass and his lousy rewrite. To be fair, it's obviously the screenplay that director Mervyn LeRoy and Warner Brothers wanted. But Spigelgass was no Ernest Lehman, who had, the year before, re-imagined (and improved upon) Laurents' book for "West Side Story," and would do the same for "The Sound of Music" in 1965.
For the three charismatic leads, this is a "Gypsy" worth viewing. But if you're a fan of the show and know it inside out, be prepared to grit your teeth and clench your armrests through a lot of it.

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 MaldenRunning Time: 143 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MUSICALS/MUSICALS UPC:?085391675525Widely 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
