You know I already own these videos, but I don't want you to miss out! Set your DVR or mix a martini and settle in for an evening of
Roz Russell on Turner Classics on Tuesday, July 29th. First, it's
Auntie Mame at 8:00 pm, followed by
Gypsy at 10:30 pm. And then if you can't sleep, stay up all night and watch her get a little saintly in
The Trouble with Angels, its successor
Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows and finally she'll play a sleuthing widow (
not that sleuthing widow, silly!) in
Mrs. Pollifax: Spy. Oh, what a movie night it will be. It's been Roz every Tuesday in July and they saved the best for last.
Notes for
Gypsy movie beginners: That's not Roz's voice you'll hear for most of
Mama Rose's songs. It's Broadway actress
Lisa Kirk delivering a hell of a vocal performance. However, it is Roz on
Mr. Goldstone and parts of
Rose's Turn. Natalie Wood, infamously dubbed by
Marni Nixon in
West Side Story, does sing here as
Gypsy Rose Lee. Gypsy Rose Lee did stop by the studio to give Natalie some stripper tips though. Best of all, keep your eyes open for composer
Jule Styne conducting the orchestra during the opening credits.
