Trivia:
Bette Midler performed most of her vocals live throughout the filming of the movie (most of it was not pre-recorded then lip-synced), which is a rare find in any musical in movie form. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Mama Rose interrupts the first audition and is talking to Uncle Jocko, the dog she is carrying switches arms between shots. moreQuotes:
Gypsy: [to audience] My mother, who got me into this business, always told me, "Make them beg for more and then don't give it to them!" But I'm not my mother! moreSoundtrack:
Baby June and Her Newsboys moreFAQ

Too often screen adaptations of musicals compromise, but this is one of those rare occasions when every ingredient, perfect in itself, comes together and harmonizes perfectly. Midler was born to play this role, and her performance will most likely be remembered as definitive. She is supported by an ideal cast, and the direction and design are tops. It doesn't get any better than this.
