Classic Films – Gypsy

Gypsy is a 1962 American musical film produced and directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood and Karl Malden.

Determined to make her beautiful, gifted daughter June a vaudeville headliner, willful, resourceful and domineering stage mother Rose Hovick will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She drags June and her shy, awkward, and decidedly less-talented older sister Louise around the country in an effort to get them noticed, and with the help of agent Herbie Sommers, finally manages to secure a booking on the prestigious Orpheum Circuit.
