Gypsy (1962)

Ringing with the showbiz sass of its Jules Styne/ Stephen Sondheim score, the fi lm 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 wallfl ower later to blossom into sophisticated stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, and her ambitious mother, Rose (Rosalind Russell, whose performance won her a fi fth Best Actress Golden Globe® award). Karl Malden scores as Herbie, the salesman who falls for Rose – to his exasperation. Full of terrifi c tunes (“Everything’s Coming Up Roses” and “Small World” among them), Gypsy will certainly entertain you and defi nitely make you smile.
