Gypsy DVD   Warner Bros

Ringing with the show-biz sass of its peerless Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim score, Mervyn LeRoy's film version of the Broadway hit Gypsy sweeps you on a grand tour of vintage vaudeville. It gets up close and personal with its depiction of the roller-coaster relationship of Louise (Natalie Wood), the wallflower who would blossom into sophisticated stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, and her ambitious mother Rose (Rosalind Russell, who won her fifth Best Actress Golden Globe for her volcanic performance). Karl Malden scores as Herbie, the salesman who falls for Rose - and later regrets it. Full of terrific tunes (Everything's Coming Up Roses, Small World and Some People among them) Gypsy will certainly entertain you and definitely make you smile.
