Gypsy is a 1962 musical comedy-drama film produced and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. The screenplay by Leonard Spigelgass is based on the book of the 1959 stage musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable by Arthur Laurents, which was adapted from Gypsy: A Memoir by Gypsy Rose Lee. Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics for songs composed by Jule Styne. The film was remade for television in 1993.
Determined to make her young, blonde, and beautiful daughter June a vaudeville headliner, willful, resourceful, domineering stage mother Rose Hovick will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She drags the girl and her shy, awkward, and decidedly less-talented older sister Louise around the country in an effort to get them noticed, and with the assistance of agent Herbie Sommers, she manages to secure them bookings on the prestigious Orpheum Circuit.
Years pass, and the girls no longer are young enough to pull off the childlike personae their mother insists they continue to project. June rebels and elopes with Jerry, one of the dancers who backs the act. Devastated by what she considers an act of betrayal, Rose pours all her energies into making a success of Louise, despite the young woman's obvious lack of singing and dancing skills. Not helping matters is the increasing popularity of sound films, which leads to a decline in the demand for stage entertainment. With bookings scarce, mother and daughter find themselves in Wichita, Kansas, where the owner of a third-rate burlesque house offers Louise a job.

GYPSY [1962]
Baby June (Ann Jillian) and Louise (Natalie Wood) wish Mama would just marry Herbie (Karl Madden). Louise wants it to be 'Just Momma, three ducks, five canaries, A mouse, two monkeys, one father, six turtles. And me.' And the little lamb of course! Postscript, 05/11/2014: Recently watched Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Gypsy which was amazing. And I was reminded of something: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LITTLE LAMB??? Shouldn't they address that?
Tulsa and Louise (Natalie Wood) share a moment in Gypsy.
Gypsy is a 1993 American musical television film directed by Emile Ardolino. The teleplay by Arthur Laurents is an adaptation of his book of the 1959 stage musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable, which was based on Gypsy: A Memoir by Gypsy Rose Lee.
original song, oldie.
When I was a child
I still did not know
Why they looked at me like I'm shit
When I was a kid
I started to recognize
Why they made faces
Like I'm disgusting
When I was in love
They said to me so much bullshit
But they never said the right
When I was a worker
They want to see me broken
And it made me so hard
It's me
Gypsy
When I was a friend
Than I got fake smiles
'cause they were never honest
when I was in trouble
there were no more brothers
yeah they leave me in shit
now I am a man
I don't deny myself
No I don't feel shame
I am on the stage
Now I show you my rage
Now I show you my fists!
It's me
Gypsy
