Brand New 70mm Print!

WEST SIDE STORY, 1961, MGM Repertory, 151 min. The ultra-classic Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins-helmed musical with Natalie Wood as the lovely Maria and Richard Beymer as her star-crossed lover Tony, surrounded by switchblade-carrying gangs led by Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno and George Chakiris. Leonard Bernstein’s soaring, instantly memorable score, with lyrics by a young Stephen Sondheim, stands as one of the finest ever written for the American musical theater. Winner of 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor (Chakiris) and Actress (Moreno), Cinematography and Art Direction.


Anyone interested in the legacy of West SIde Story should check out the entry on Wikipedia which details allusions to WSS in Film, Television, Literature, and Pop Culture.
