The movie was originally titled "Pearl", which was a biographical movie based on Janis Joplin's life. When approached with the script for "Pearl", Bette Midler believed it was too soon after Joplin's death to portray her life in a movie. Re-writes were then made, with Midler's guidance, that deleted some portions of the original script, and embellished other parts of the story. Then the re-written script was named "The Rose", and Midler agreed to the lead role.
Bette Midler performed the soundtrack album, the title song track "The Rose" was one of the biggest selling vinyl singles of 1980.
Loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin.
Mark Rydell would only agree to direct if he could cast Bette Midler in the lead. Before that, Midler had only appeared in bit parts, and was known primarily as a nightclub singer.
Private First Class Mal (David Keith) is seen applauding Mary Rose Foster (Bette Midler) from the wings during her singing of "Stay With Me Baby", though it wasn't in the script. Keith simply spontaneously applauded Midler's heart-wrenching performance. Director Mark Rydell felt it was a good touch, and decided to include it.
"Rose: Ain't it just grand layin' there late at night in your bed, waitin' for your man to show up? And when he finally does, at oh about 4 o'clock in the mornin', with whiskey on his breath, and the smell of another woman on his person... Oh honey, I can smell another woman at 500 paces. That's a easy one to catch. [crowd gets really noisy] Rose: Oh, the women are getting nasty. So what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him? Do you say, "Oh honey, let me open up my loving arms and my loving legs. Dive right in, baby, the water is fine"? Is that what you say, girls? [the women in the crowd scream "No!"] Rose: Or do you say, "Fuck this shit! I've had enough of you, you asshole! Pack your bags. I'm putting on my little waitress cap and my fancy high-heeled shoes, I'm gonna go find me a real man. A good man, a true man.""
"Rose: Where you going...? Where's everybody going...? [she collapses onstage]"
