Title: GYPSY [Blu-ray]
Review: GYPSY [1962 / 2013] [Blu-ray] [US Import] Everything Comes Up Roses When You Let This Broadway Classic Entertain You!Ringing with the showbiz success of its Jule Styne and 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] who’s performance won her a fifth Best Actress Golden Globe® Awards. Karl Malden scores as Herbie the salesman who falls for Rose, to his exasperation. Full of terrific classic songs, such as « Everything’s Coming Up Roses » and « Small World » among them. ‘GYPSY’ will certainly entertain you and definitely make you smile.FILM FACT: The film was nominated for 3 Academy Awards® which were: Harry Stradling for Best Cinematography (Color). Orry-Kelly for Best Costume Design (Color). Frank Perkins for Best Music Adaptation or Treatment.

In staying true to the Broadway roots, this cinematic version creates another success; one of the most compelling musicals released in cinemas throughout the entire 1960’s. The musical in both play and film form, is partly a dramatization based upon the real-life memoir of strip-tease performer Gypsy Rose Lee. Natalie Wood was the only choice to play Gypsy, though her slender figure wasn’t quite suitable for the statuesque burlesque queen. And since her character’s songs weren’t as demanding, she got to do most of her own singing. Only the high notes were dubbed. As had happened with West Side Story the year before, Marni Nixon was used to match Natalie Wood’s vocal quality.The story focuses on Rose Hovick [Rosalind Russell]; a mother who is determined to find the success she never had in her life for her daughters. She trains and manages her daughters in working vaudeville tours. The path to success seems to be working for them for a while. It doesn’t last forever, of course. The kid-friendly and sweetly-natured shows put on by her two children and some boys who became recruited for these performances become significantly less fashionable, and as they became older it became more difficult to get stage-presence approval for childish roles in vaudeville in the first place. Things began to crumble apart in the show-biz world that the characters lived and breathed. Rose Hovick was always determined to have the stage success last, however, and is not willing to forfeit her quest to find fame for her daughters.Her younger daughter June leaves the family behind and marries one of the older boys who performed in the vaudeville shows with her, and she leaves only one single note to express feelings of sadness and love to her mother Rose Hovick. She wanted to branch out and leave all of Rose’s managed vaudeville acts behind and become a « real » actress. Rose Hovick is heartbroken. Rose Hovick doesn’t give up on the vaudeville act. She still has the help of her partner Herbie Sommers [Karl Malden], whom she still hopes to marry one day. She also has her older daughter to turn to. Rose Hovick’s daughter Louise Hovick [Natalie Wood] can carry the show on and make the « dream » stay.The dream has fallen. Only Rose Hovick wants for the act to continue on and both Louise and Herbie seem to want a normal life outside of performance arts. Herbie Sommers has a candy business that has better odds of continuing as far as being a financial success for the three of them, and mainly because vaudeville is no longer the popular act it once was for them to carry on. Yet Rose Hovick is determined to not let things end this way.It isn’t long before almost no options are left. Louise Hovick becomes the star of a « Hollywood Blondes » show Rose thought up and that is supposed to be a light-hearted show but it turns out that the last place they could find to hire them was a burlesque. Rose Hovick initially rejects the prospect of any of them being there and wants them to imminently leave. Herbie Sommers agrees. Yet Louise decides that there are few options left for them to earn some money and she agrees to stay. They perform with the burlesque and eventually Louise Hovick becomes « Gypsy Rose Lee, » a star of strip-tease.The film offers a complicated and fascinating glimpse into what a relationship can be between mother and daughter. It’s a complex relationship that Rose Hovick and Louise Hovick have. On the one hand, Rose clearly wanted success and fame for herself and as a part of her life-story. However, she clearly also wanted great things for her children. Rose wanted them to succeed and to find an impressive life that Rose Hovick felt she never had. Delving further, one might say the events are the result of Rose Hovick feeling as though she never had the care or attention of her own mother and it really boils down to her wanting to be there for her children in a way she may have felt was missing from her own relationship with her mother. The irony is that she ultimately begins distancing herself from her daughters and from understanding and recognising true needs.Characterisations in ‘GYPSY’ are absolutely authentic and touch on real human issues with magnificent gusto but the setting and flow of the story is traditional Hollywood fare. The dramatization of this story isn’t really concerned, or so it seems, with focusing on telling audiences Gypsy Rose Lee’s story in a way that is fully authentic. Instead, the film plays somewhat similar to one of its key songs by saying, « Let Me Entertain You! » C’est la vie.Broadway found a huge success with “GYPSY” and the film version by Mervyn LeRoy was certainly no slouch either in terms of acclaim and memorability. The music for the film is undeniably great, and the lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, who also worked with the original choreographer Jerome Robbins on `West Side Story,’ are some of the best in his career and somehow they manage to remain just a glimpse of the perfection in `West Side Story.’ This ultimately served as a triumphant signal of what would come from the famed lyricist. It’s amazing to see how much talent was on display in this classic musical. So much talent is displayed in this film’s creation.I was slightly let-down by noticing some out-of-synch dubbing on the singing, which was how `GYPSY’ was ultimately made and has always looked. It’s something you can find with many musicals. Some parts of the performances were dubbed over by different singers. This was especially noticeable during some scenes with Rosalind Russell. However, her undeniably significant performance still shines through and ultimately steals the show. As beautiful, talented, and charming as Natalie Wood is it is most certainly Russell who makes this a genuinely classic musical that focuses on the ups and downs of attempting to find truly « glamorous » success in show business and the sad illusion of the quest for fame as any meaningful thing at the end of the day.Filmed with great effort needed to stay true to Jerome Robbins vision while allowing for a new version to flourish from the director Mervyn LeRoy of the film, ‘GYPSY’ remains a satisfying blend of the highly theatrical and the cinematic wonderment found in musicals. The film has some elements that truly stand out as genuinely terrific from start to finish: the performances from all three leads are exceptional, of course, and the staging by the director feels like it’s a blend between the cinematic and theatrical. I sometimes find that works best for the films.To me, ‘GYPSY’ is to my mind the totally perfect film, and the film is beautifully shot, features excellent music, and contains an assortment of quality performances. The story that is told remains both compelling and character driven to the point where any qualms with the film don’t over-shine how good everything ultimately remains as a classic example of a well-done Hollywood musical. It’s glamorous and totally entertaining.Blu-ray Video Quality – ‘GYPSY’ looks totally remarkable in 1080p encoded High Definition. The 2.40:1 aspect ratio transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. The film was released with beautiful 35mm prints and this transfer is undoubtedly the best that ‘GYPSY’ has looked since its original release in cinema. Colours pop everywhere in this transfer. The print is clean and almost entirely free of any distractions. I wasn’t expecting perfection from this transfer, but what I found was almost exactly that. It absolutely seems to be one of the best transfers for any classic film release on the Blu-ray format for a very long time.Blu-ray Video Quality – The 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio track sounds much better than I expected it to, but it isn’t a total winner or an example of perfection. It absolutely works wonders with the beautiful transfer, but there are some downsides. The dialogue is not as loud as the score music and as a whole this is definitely a sound mix that shows some age and is less refined in terms of the technology used today. The sound materials could have probably used a good overhaul. However, the film still sounds good on Blu-ray and it certainly sounds like a perfect mix.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Features: 2 Outtake Musical Numbers: According to IMDb, these two songs were deleted shortly after the film’s initial release. Long thought lost, they were restored from an early release print provided by a private collector; hence the substantially weaker quality, which are as follows:Wherever We Go [2:39] The inherent staginess of this number, which has physical comedy routines spelled out in the lyrics, probably brought the film to a dead stop. This is a duet number.You Couldn’t Get Away From Me [3:37] This is the complete version of the song, including both the portion retained in the film and the part that was cut out. The change in aspect ratio as well as audio and visual quality clearly marks the edit.Theatrical Trailer [1962] [3:36] The Original Theatrical Trailer focuses heavily on Natalie Wood and the character of Gypsy Rose Lee. Of course, like the Gypsy’s dances, it’s mostly a tease.Finally, this is one of the first Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray releases and if it’s any indication of what film fans can expect, the quality of these releases is the only way forward, and everyone who considers themselves a big film fan, especially like me, is in for a real treat with these presentations. The transfer is stunning to behold and the audio quality is good overall. Any fans out there of ‘GYPSY’ looking for the best way to own this musical will be thrilled with the significant upgrade. Over half a century ago, the creators of ‘GYPSY’ etched an indelible portrait of the corrosive effects of a lifelong addiction, especially when the desired fame never arrives. The concluding song of ‘GYPSY’ entitled « Rose’s Turn, » is a real tour de force of bitterness, as Rose contemplates the star she could have been, or so she imagines. The scene can be very moving, infuriating, horrifying and grotesque indeed, all of the above at once when played by a great actress like Rosalind Russell, who is a firm favourite actress for mine. The Warner Archive Collection may turn out to be an essential line-up to look forward to over the next year. This is an exciting turn of events for fans of the many great films that are currently unavailable from Warner Bros. on Blu-ray. All in all this has always been a massive hit for me and cannot get tired of watching, as it has all the magical ingredients that on Hollywood can produce and so it is now a great honour to add this to my Blu-ray Collection. Very Highly Recommended!Andrew C. Miller – Your Ultimate No.1 Film FanLe Cinema ParadisoUnited Kingdom

Title: Chantez maintenant
Review: Voila un bien beau divertissement. Si vous êtes amateur de comédie Musical de l’âge d’or du genre, découvrez ce film peu connu du grand public, il se place dans la lignée d’une étoile est né, et se positionne plus comme un drame que comme une comédie légère, mais c’est un enchantement que de le découvrir.Certains lui trouveront un coté un peut bavard, mais à mon sens ça fait aussi un peut son charme. Attentions aux allergiques aux sous-titres, ce dvd ne comporte pas de bande sonore française (ce qui est bien logique sur un film en partie chanté), vous ne pouvez donc le visionner qu’en VO total ou Vo sous-titré Français

Title: Bien que la tête d’affiche soit Natalie Wood
Review: Quand on a connu Natalie Wood dans West Side Story, avec son scénario puissant, ses ballets modernes et la musique de Leonard Berstein, on ne peut être que déçu. Dans cette autre comédie musicale, Miss Wood joue Gipsy, une starlette qui n’arrive pas à percer malgré les efforts incommensurables de sa mère. Elle devient finalement strip-teaseuse. Natalie Wood n »apparaît que dans la seconde moitié du film, la première étant dédiée à la mère de Gipsy, qui s’avère être le personnage principal du film. Le personnage de Gipsy est sur-joué.Ce film repose sur la notoriété de Natalie Wood, pétillante et sympathique tête d’affiche dans les 60s. Cela n’e fait pas de ce film un chef d’oeuvre pour autant, mais un film tout juste regardable de nos jours.

Review: Great performances. Studio production. Gypsy Rose Lee was famous as a stripper …this is the story of a stage mother and her effect on her family, but very entertaining. Some really nice dancing by the chorus boys.

Review: Classic stage musical made into a wonderful movie. It’s the best we’ll ever get.The real star for me here is Natalie Wood who’s sensational. Rosalind Russell does her best and she’s okay but I’ve always thought her take on Momma Rose wasn’t hard enough and way too glamourous. But I won’t let that stand in the way. Absolutely beautiful blu-ray transfer

Review: I’ve had Gypsy on film (16mm) for 40 years and although its a Technicolor print, it’s not nearly as easy to watch as just popping the DVD I bought a few years ago into a player. However, now with the Blu-ray FINALLY out, I can finally watch Gypsy on my video projector that produces a picture that looks better than 16mm film and rivals 35mm film on my 12 foot wide Cinemascope screen.Maybe Warner Bros. Home Video will finally get smart and release other classics they own the rights to on Blu-ray, but to date, have all but ignored releasing them for some strange reason.So if you’re a Rosalind Russell or Natalie Wood fan this great musical film is a MUST HAVE Blu-ray!Next, they need to release « Auntie Mame » (both the Rosalind Russell and Lucille Ball versions) and « The Pajama Game » in Blu-ray….just for starters. They appear to also own the DVD rights to the MGM classic « The Unsinkable Molly Brown ». WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR??? They also need to finally get out a Blu-ray of the « new » SECOND RESTORATION of « Giant ». The first one was released on regular DVD and the picture, while okay, was nothing to write home about and the sound was a total disgrace. I guess they already figured out that many people will buy the regular DVD first and STILL BUY the Blu-ray, and are milking it for all its worth (of course they’re not the ONLY COMPANY doing this).Finally, let me just take this opportunity to say that wile Warner’s didn’t release the horribly defective Blu-ray of « My Fair Lady » (CBS is responsible), they should tell CBS that the LOUSY Blu-ray reflects on « their » name that is on the titles. This would have never happened if Jack Warner was still alive and in control of the company.
