Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An ex-gun moll works to protect a young Puerto Rican boy from assassination by the New York mob.
Amazon.com:
Even a genre film looks different in the hands of writer-director John Cassavetes. In this one, he casts a wonderfully hard-boiled Gena Rowlands as the title character: a former Mob moll who picked up a few tricks along the way. She becomes the unexpected guardian of a young boy (John Adames) who has just seen his parents wiped out. Worse, the Mob is after him as well, seeking a book he has--and the overdue fine is a killer. Though Cassavetes lets his actors have a little too much rein, it pays off in the complex--and surprisingly funny--performance by Rowlands as an unlikely nanny who discovers that, though she is an unwilling bodyguard, she actually learns to care for the tough little guy she's trying to keep out of harm's way. --Marshall Fine

- Fantastic.......I just finished watching The Notebook and there was Gena Rowlands and instantly I thought of this movie, thats where I first saw her, and just fell in love with this movie, it was an HBO movie and my daughter and I saw it so many times we could say most of the lines just as the actors were on film, The acting by Rowlands and the young boy is just so fantastic, shes so tough , and that little boy, he could tug at your heartstrings, I was on edge the whole time , you've read the other reviews to get ...

- Gloria RevisitedI saw this movie over 20 years ago and wanted to add it to my video library. Gena Rowlands was excellent as the "tough broad". I enjoyed watching it again and I'm a sucker for happy endings. I've seen Gena Rowlands in other movies, but her role in this movie has always stood out as one of her best roles. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

- CHABELA Y PEPITO CONTRA LOS GANGSTERSSpoiler alert: Buck Henry gets wasted in more ways than one. Not only some mobsters whack him at the outset of the movie, but he exits without providing it with a much needed script! Instead he leaves behind a book of records the mafia desperately wants (well, not so desperately it seems, since Gloria hands it to them a few times and they hesitate to take it) and an orphan: Buck Henry's Puerto Rican son (yes; you read that correctly). He's your average pre "Welcome Back Kotter" obnoxious little brat, ... Read More

- Gena Shines AgainOnce again, Gena Rowlands, one of the greatest actors of all time shines in the role of an ex mob mol. From start to finish this is one of the finest performances ever put on film. Every gesture, every nuance, every delivery of dialog is perfect. The character Gloria is a true hero as she transforms from a cold, uncaring woman to a loving protector of a small child whose family has been murdered by the mob. The scene where she opens fire on some thugs to save the kid is stunning and is the turning point ... Read More

- GLORIA (1980)The gifted Gena Rowlands garnered an Oscar Nomination for her magnificent portrayal of the world-weary, street-wise Gloria Swenson. I love this movie, I love strong, powerful women, and I love Gena Rowlands, who is one of my favorite actresses. As a matter of fact, this is the film that introduced this amazing talent to me all those years ago. As a lifelong fan, I've watched every film that she has appeared in since viewing the film "Gloria" and I often revisit "Gloria" as well. It's a totally engaging ... Read More
