Storyline
Mama Rose lives to see her daughter June succeed on Broadway by way of vaudeville. When June marries and leaves, Rose turns her hope and attention to her elder, less obviously talented, daughter Louise. However, having her headlining as a stripper at Minsky's Burlesque is not what she initially has in mind. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Trivia
Most of Rosalind Russell's songs were dubbed by Lisa Kirk. However, Russell's voice can be heard in "Mr. Goldstone", the reprise of "Small World", and parts of "Rose's Turn" and the cut "Together Wherever We Go". See more »Goofs
Towards the end of the movie, before the men enter Gypsy's dressing room, she is standing in front of a mirror. When she greets the men, there is suddenly a red ribbon around her hair. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
Opening credits are superimposed on a closed stage curtain, below which is an orchestra and conductor, performing the film's overture. The overture has been truncated from the stage version's original overture, but is otherwise quite faithful to it. See more »Alternate Versions
The song "Together, Wherever We Go", along with the second duet part of "You'll Never Get Away from Me" was cut after the film was first released and was, for the most part, forgotten (both songs feature Karl Malden). it was supposed that all prints of these songs had disinigrated (the video version even says that they are no longer available). Recently, a film collector was found who had an old print of Gypsy with these songs intact but in very poor condition. They are included on the dvd in the "bonus" section. See more »Connections

Rosalind Russell gave Mama Rose heart and vunerability. Recreating a role for film that was done on Broadway by someone else is challenging, and Roz did it with style and class! I've heard the Ethel Merman soundtrack and all I can say is that I thank God that the producers opted to go with Ms. Russell instead. Just from listening to Ethel's version, I could hear a harshness and a brashness that would have made me hate Mama Rose; Ms. Russell's version left me with quite the opposite. Natalie Wood and Karl Malden delivered heartfelt performances as well.
