Year: 1962 Director: Mervyn LeRoy Starring: Rosalind Russell Natalie Wood Karl MaldenRunning Time: 143 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS UPC: 085391675525 Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Movie!This is one of my favorite movies! Natalie Wood is great! A must see if you enjoy great Hollywood Musicals! Rating: - One of the classicsI 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. Rating: - TerrificYou 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 ...

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 ...
