About this product

Product Information

This stellar Broadway play from Arthur Laurent, Jule Styne, and Stephen Sondheim ranks as one of the great pieces of American musical theater. The play and the subsequent film feature the enormously popular "Everything Is Coming Up Roses" and also includes "Small World," "All I Need Is the Girl," "You Gotta Have a Gimmick," "Let Me Entertain You," "Broadway, Broadway," and a half dozen others. The story follows the life of Rose Louise Hovick, the infamous queen of burlesque. Mama Rose, played by Rosalind Russell, propelled by the fame she never achieved, is determined to make her two daughters vaudeville stars whether they like it or not. Her bets rest with the older daughter, June, until June strikes off on her own, putting all the pressure on Louise (Natalie Wood), who isn't particularly interested in her mother's aspirations. At the same time, the world of vaudeville is decaying slowly around them, with many of the stages turning to burlesque acts. In a spontaneous move, Louise creates her own strip show onstage, and even though Louise doesn't display any skin, the act catches on fire. Actresses Russell and Wood pull off the difficult dramatic roles, but the real charm of the film rests in the excellent soundtrack.

I really enjoyed watching this biopic of Gypsy Rose Lee. IMO, both Rosalind and Natalie were superb as the mother-daughter pair. And I always enjoy watching Karl Malden, whom I believe was a fine actor. Sometimes I purchase a DVD just for the actors; here, I was not disappointed.

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 insights
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
