West Side Story (1961)
Manage episode 449677564 series 3435525
It’s musicals month and Bob is at least tripling the amount of musicals he’s watched in his lifetime on this month alone and today we go to that timeless tale of salt and garlic who truly have the ability to do wonders together if it wasn’t for sausage and it’s systemic authoritarianism making things too divided. I’m sure it’s obvious that we’re talking about the Jerome Robbins/Robert Wise/Stephen Sondheim/Leonard Bernstein joint from 1961 “WEST SIDE STORY” starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblin & Rita Moreno. The American take on “Romeo & Juliet” won Best Picture for that year and is the ground floor for many people’s introduction to musicals. Jets, Sharks, fake Latinas, star-crossed lovers, tragedy and the most graceful gang warfare you ever saw. Everyone knows this story. Check it here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7u28ym
