Movie Reviews of Gypsy
Movie 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.
Summary 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 MaldenWidely 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
