Watch: The Rose 1979 123movies, Full Movie Online – Bette Midler plays The Rose, a female rock star strikingly similar to Janis Joplin. This movie follows her career during her last tour, as she’s determined to return to her hometown in Florida. Although a success, she’s exhausted and lonely, but is forced to continue working by her gruff and greedy manager. Though loud and brassy, she is an insecure alcoholic and former drug user, who seems to crave approval in her life. She begins a romance with a limo driver, who is actually an A.W.O.L. Sergeant from the Army. Her musician lifestyle of “sex, drugs, and rock and roll”, along with the constant touring, leads her to an inevitable breakdown..
Plot: Rock-and-roll singer Mary Rose Foster’s romantic relationships and mental health are continuously imperilled by the demands of life on the road.

a rose is a rose is…
Making her film debut, Bette Midler plays a singer loosely based on Janis Joplin. Midler does a very good job in the role, showing the woman making something of herself, but living a self-destructive life to the point where she ruins herself. A particularly eye-popping scene is when she struts through the men’s room and the men get all freaked out and start jumping into the pool. You gotta wonder what’s with those guys.Equally as good as Midler is Alan Bates as her manager and sometimes lover. “The Rose” is certainly a movie that I recommend, and I believe the director later directed Bette Midler in the equally interesting “For the Boys”. Also starring Don Calfa and Doris Roberts.
Fire down below -spoiler-
There were two films of this genre: The Rose & A Star is Born.The Divine Ms. M turns in a performance that tops Kris
Kristofferson & Barbara Streisand – with ease (using one of
Kristofferson’s songs & a drag-queen Streisand impersonator!).
This film is a novelty / mockumentary take on a Janis Joplin type.
Obviously, Ms. Middler would have made a documentary if she had
wanted. . .so this is Bette jumping off where she feels she can
give an over-the-top performance.
There are no bad parts to this film. There are no bad songs. The
whole film has high production values and is comparable to The
Last Waltz in the intensity of the performance.
My favorite song is “Fire Down Below” – a dynamite performance.
Somehow the performance was left off of the soundtrack album
and the only decent cover is Bob Seger’s.
If you want to see Bette acting and singing at a level few can hope
to equal: watch the film.
