The best thing about this DVD is that it preserves the wonderful "Musical Fable" GYPSY. Although some liberties were taken when the quintessential best musical of all times reached Hollywood, the integrity of the production remains solid. A brilliant score by Jule Styne & Steven Sondheim, along with the perfect book by Arthur Laurents makes GYPSY the "Show of Shows" always and forever. If you missed seeing the original Broadway production starring ETHEL MERMAN (for whom the show was written), or the close-to-the-original 2008 revival starring PATTI LUPONE, this film version will bring you the basic elements of the stage production. Superb performances by Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood, along with great costumes and choreography, are captured on film forever. This is a don't-miss entertainment delight!!! No melodramatic tripe here, just pure ENTERTAINMENT captured on film forever.Read full review
Natalie Wood has always been a fantastic actress. She showed early on that she had what it takes to be a great actress. Her portrayal of Gypsy Rose Lee is outstanding. This is a story with alot of heart. But the best is the realistic job she does in the lead role. If you have never seen it, maybe it is time you did. The adventure is well worth the cost of admission.
One of the best. Natalie Wood was amazing. How great to be able to enjoy this cast Natalie, Roselind Russell and Karl Malden top of their craft. Take note of the up and coming others.

Lots of insider/insights to the life of Gypsy rose Lee. You know her history of being ignored you understand why she became a stripper. At least she FINALLY got some attention. Dave Harper
