West Side Story

Movie (1961)

Updated musical version of Romeo and Juliet by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, set in Fifties New York, where Natalie Wood's dangerous romance with Richard Beymer causes the already simmering tensions between rival street gangs the Jets and the Sharks to explode. One of the most successful films of all time, scooping a richly deserved 10 Academy Awards at the 1962 ceremony, and also starring Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno and George Chakiris in supporting roles. The film was faithfully adapted from the hugely popular stage play, not only retaining the vast majority of the script and songs, but even using much of the same incredibly complex choreography, making it a real cinematic spectacle
