Product description

She's an ex-gun moll and showgirl suddenly forced to protect a kid whose parents have been rubbed out by the mob. Now the mob wants the kid dead too - but first they'll have to deal with Gloria (GenaRowlands in an Oscar(r)-nominated performance, Best Actress, 1980.) Director John Cassavetes, known for his unique approach to filmmaking, creates a powerful, tension-filled story. An accountant (Buck Henry) is in possession of a ledger which could put a number of mob bosses behind bars for a long time. Before he is killed, however, he manages to entrust the ledger and his son to a neighbor, Gloria, for protection. Gloria reluctantly takes the kid on the run while keeping the mob at bay, sometimes at the point of a gun. Finally, tired of running, she decides to confront them head on!

Gena Rowlands Rules!

Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2002

She is tough. She is beautiful. She is glorious. She is Gloria -- ie she is Gena Rowlands. And I really admire her. I think she, along with Ellen Burstin, is one of the most beautiful and talented American actress who is in the business for such a long time and has done wonderful works. To my complete delight these two ladies worked togheter in "Playing by Heart" -- which is a nice movie.
"Gloria" is directed by Gena's late husband, the also very talented John Cassavetes. The story is simple but touching: one boy, Phill, has his family murdered by gangsters. Gloria, who is a neighbour has taken the boy from the apartement before the crime happened. So she and the little boy spend most of the film trying not to get killed by these mobsters. To make things worse, Phill has got a black book given by his dad in which he had written everthing he knew about the mafia when he worked for them as an accountant; plus, Gloria herself is an ex-con, who had had some reltionships with these very same guys.
This film is very violent and bloody, but on the other hand, it is very human. The relationship between Gloria and Phill grows up slowly -- once she doesn't like children very much -- ; and it is very believable. Gena is hard as a rock -- as Gloria would be if she were a real person. She received an Oscar nomination for this, which is one of her finest work. And it kept me wondering what things Gloria had faced that made her like this. The boy is also good and he is the light point of the movie; the comments he makes are so innocent that they sound funny.
The score is competely amazing and unforgettable, and goes very well with all scenes. And the opening credits written on some paitings is breathtaking. Cassavete's direstion is precise and the script is smart and serious.
I think the only small problem in this movie is that is very dated and nowadays it looks a bit old. I'm not talking about the fashion, but some situations. But on the other hand, there's an up-dated version of "Gloria" starred by Sharon Stone, which is really, really awful. So I'd rather watching the "old" one -- even with some 'old' things -- than that modernized one. That's why I highly recommend this picture!

Gena Rowlands is the BOMB!

Reviewed in Canada on April 16, 2001

Never sentimental, often brutal, "Gloria" follows the life and times of ex-gangster's moll Gloria who finds herself protecting the young survivor of a mafia massacre. Armed with only her wits and a pocket gun, Gloria goes on the run, taking with her Phil, played wonderfully by then child actor John Adames who tries his best to be Gloria's equal in everything. Gloria knows enough about mafia life to know that she and Phil are living on borrowed time but she's one tough broad, and there's a chance that the Mafia just might have met their match in a woman whose maternal instincts have been aroused, and who will do anything to protect a child she has come to love as her own. Gena Rowlands is crackingly good as the foul mouthed Gloria who gives as good as she gets, as she takes on the mob, and the whole corrupt city system in a battle of wits, blood and bullets. Considering that this film was made over 20 years ago, it has aged pretty well and is just as watchable now as it was then. Worth adding to your collection if you life a film with teeth.

Would be 5-stars, but this video was cut/edited

Reviewed in Canada on May 3, 1999

One of my all-time favorite movies, easily worthy of 5 (or more stars), in the theatrical version. BUT, for reasons unknown, this one was cut in at least two key scenes, and probably many others. The scene in the apartment, when the shooters come in, we no longer see the mother and father with their guns and the shootings of the grandmother, mother, and father, and, off-camera, daughter. Instead, the camera is on Gloria and the kid in her apartment (something that wasn't in the original, as I recall). The scene where Gloria is on the curb with the kid and the mobsters roar up in their car. In the theatrical release, Gloria says, "Suck on this!" as she points and shoots them, point-blank. Major slice in the video, no "Suck on this!" You can see the jerkiness of the cut. I'm amazed that this was done. Interested in continuity errors? [...]

Nearly 20 years old and still holds up today!!

Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 1999

I saw the movie when it originally came to theaters and loved it then. I love it even more on video. The relationship between Gloria and Phil was truely special. I loved the fact that nearly 20 after the film was originally released it still has a modern theme. I watched the video with my 20 year old niece and she enjoyed it. The acting and directing was wonderful. The film has a "low budget" feeling like the lives it's charaters lived. The dialog was quick, witty, and real. The actor who played Phil was great. He was able to hold his own with Gena Rowlands and that says a lot!!! Toward the end, I was rooting for Gloria to shot someone else (sorry to say!!). I won't give away the ending but I think even the roughest heart will enjoy this 'odd couple'.

You Go Girl!

Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2003

I saw Gloria years ago on cable. I was in the service when it was in theatres so I didn't see it in 1980. I have been a fan of it ever since. I catch it whenever it's on television. I must have seen it at least 50 times! I never tire of the non-stop action and the gritty realistic portrayal by Gena Rolands. I was estactic when it came out on DVD. It's a great flick to watch on a rainy couch potato day. I have not bothered to catch the remake.

Will they, won't they?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

Gina Rowlands is one underrated actress. She convincingly portrayed the dilemma she has in looking after a friends child who is likely to be killed by the mob, her own need to survive the mob by not making waves, her reluctance to allow the child to get under her skin emotionally and losing the battle, the hardness she has acquired after years of being a gangster's moll. Quite a feat I would say.
I enjoyed this film very much. It was gritty and yet emotionally charged as well.
The boy in the film was perfect in the role also.
The ended of course leaves you thinking. After all the mob has a long arm therefore why not find them anywhere but somehow it didn't really matter about the ending because the body of the film was excellent.

Perhaps not Cassavetes at his most challenging, and the plot is a bit unlikely, but the relationship between Gena Rowlands (still head and shoulders above any current Hollywood actress) and the kid is charming. Also, a middle-aged woman toting a gun is a refreshing change.

A great action movie with a fresh take on the hero role - a lot of action but feels different from most run-off-the-mill movies.
