The most bizarre part of the movie is that its about a heterosexual window dresser. Filmed at the historic Wannamaker’s department store in Philadelphia.

If you live in Manhattan, you must go to the Chelsea Clearview Cinema tomorrow night for a big screen presentation of Gypsy, starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood.
In case you’ve been under a rock your whole life, the movie tells the story of famed stripper Gypsy Rose Lee and her overbearing stage mother Mama Rose. Maybe a remake vehicle for Linday Lohan and her own crazy mama Dina?
Tickets are only $6.50, but you can’t buy online. Complain about it to Scott, the manager.
