Customer Reviews

There's a place for us.

"There's a place for us, a time and place for us. Hold my hand, and we're halfway there." Music: Leonard Bernstein Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim And there is a movie for us. "West Side Story" is a classic on too many levels to describe here. Everything from the music to the choreography to the actors to... One big plus is that even if the storyline is a classic, they did not try to duplicate Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" with modern clothing. The movie still maintains the feel and action of the play. This movie tells the story of two people, Tony and Maria (Richard Beyer and Natalie Wood), from adverse backgrounds who fall in love. They must cope with their new feelings. And to complicate things, they have trouble with their families and society. Will they overcome these things, or will fate and circumstance thwart their efforts and tragedy arise? I could write a book on what makes this movie great, but you should watch and judge for yourself. There are several editions of this film. For Blu-ray viewers, be aware that this film was made decades before the 1080p concept.
