Gypsy

Ringing with the showbiz sass of its Jules Styne / Stephen Sondheim score, the film version of the Broadway hit Gypsy takes you on a grand vaudeville tour. It sweeps you up in the roller-coaster relationship of Louise (Natalie Wood), the wallflower later to blossom into sophisticated stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, and her ambitious mother, Rose (Rosalind Russell, whose performance won her a fifth Best Actress Golden Glober award). Karl Malden scores as Herbie, the salesman who falls for Rose - to his exasperation. Full of terrific tunes ("Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Small World" among them), Gypsy will certainly entertain you and definitely make you smile. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
