Movie Reviews of Gypsy
Movie Review: Gypsy. 1993 TV version DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Gypsy was a popular stage show with Ethel Merman with music by Jule Styne & Stephen Sondheim. From Everything is Comin Up Roses to Let Me Entertain You this show has many great songs. Filmed by Warner Bros with Rosalind Russell as Mama Rose & Natalie Wood as her daughter Rose who became Gypsy Rose Lee, this TV version(1993) is highly entertaining and runs the 150mins of the Warner film. Bette Midler plays her part well in a story that is very reminiscent of an era that was once in US live theatre. The opening credits depicts stills of performers in stills from this long gone era. I have the original Laserdisc of this TV version from its original issue and I was pleased to be able to get the DVD into my collection. It will be regularly run for my enjoyment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to collectors of stage musical material.Movie Review: Bette Midler is perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only describe this movie with one word- WOW! Bette Midler makes an astounding performance as Mama Rose, the pushy stage mother, forcing her kids into showbiz. It makes you cry! though, then again, I always wonder, why don't they put Betty Buckley in the role? She was great in it when I saw here as Mama Rose (she was at the Paper Mill playhouse in NJ...) but anyway, bette Midler is great, and don't get me wrong, the other movie of Gypsy in 1962 with Natalie Wood and Rosalind Russel, is also outstanding, with a little more time put into it, though! I love this movie and hate Tyne Daly's version, but Bernadette Peters, and Ethel Merman, and Betty buckley are all great too! it would be interesting if they put Streisand in Mama Rose's role....(....hmmmm....), Anyway, i love this movie and hope you enjoy it also!Movie Review: The perfect Mama Rose.
Summary: 5 Stars
Bette Midler shines in this authentic production of "Gypsy." The production maintains the "stage presence" instead of trying to make it look like a movie set--a brilliant decision. Midler captures the true strength and vulnerability of the character of Mama Rose in a way that no others have done before. I have seen Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daley, Bernadette Peters and others perform in this show--one of my favorites. None of them has been able to deliver like Bette. Don't miss this one. It was selling on ebay for around $75 before its re-release. It is one to watch again and again.Movie Review: Everythin will Turn Up Roses

What can I say? Bette Midler is totally superb in the role of Mama Rose!
She is fantastic! Even though this was a television special, Ms Midler out performed, and out sang Tyne Daly, had more passion that Ethel Merman,
and came neck to neck with Angela Lansbury in acting and singing departments. Great DVD!
