«Versione cinematografica di un musical (1957) di A. Laurents - L. Bernstein
- S. Sondheim: è la storia di Giulietta e Romeo trasferita nei quartieri popolari
della West Side di New York City, non senza insistenza sui temi dei conflitti
razziali e della violenza e con qualche spunto polemico verso i miti di libertà
e tolleranza negli USA. I due assi vincenti sono le canzoni di
Bernstein-Sondheim e le coreografie del geniale Jerome Robbins (1918-98), spesso
girate dal vero nella 68 e nella 118 Strada prima della loro demolizione. 10
premi Oscar: film, regia, G. Chakiris, R. Moreno, fotografia, costumi,
scenografia, montaggio, colonna sonora e coreografia. Notevoli i titoli di testa
di Saul Bass».

stinker. West Side Story is the filmed version of the hit Broadway musical inspired by
Romeo and Juliet. Jerome Robbins, who conceived the stage version, gets co-director credit here. He was originally slated to direct the entire film, but his perfectionism meant twice the budget. United Artists brought in Robert Wise after less than a month of rehearsals, assigning him direction of the non-musical
sequences. [...] Sticking closely to Arthur Laurents's original book, the film follows the escalating tensions between rival teenage gangs the Jets (who are white) and the Sharks (who are Puerto Rican) as they battle for turf in Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Sharks are led by Bernardo, boyfriend of the tempestuous Anita; the Jets follow Riff (Tamblyn). Caught in the middle are Bernardo's sister, Maria (Wood), who has just arrived from Puerto Rico, and Tony (Beymer), a member of the Jets who is Riff's best friend. Tony and Maria fall in love, despite the hatred between their friends and relatives, but the romance is destined to end
tragically. West Side Story became one of the most popular film musicals in history, largely on the strength of its youth appeal and the aforementioned Robbins's
choreography--a spectacular combination of ballet, acrobatics, and jazz excitingly adapted for the camera...».
