9/10

Greatest musical of all time

There is certainly tough competition when trying to decide the best musical of all time but I believe West Side Story is the clear winner. The acting is first rate and the locations gritty and realistic so you get the feel of what it is like to be a poor immigrant in New York. Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno are outstanding as the beautiful innocent Maria and the alluring more worldly wise Anita. Above all, Bernstein's music is breathtaking and unique, sweeping from gangster slang through lively Hispanic dances to luminous love songs. Unlike many musicals, it always feels real and grounded which makes the tragic ending all the more moving.

Curiosidades
The actors in the rival gangs were instructed to play pranks on each other off the set to keep tensions high.

Pifias
Near the end, when Maria yells "Don't you touch him!", two different voices can be heard at the same time in the first half of the phrase (in fact, this is singer Marni Nixon overdubbing for Natalie Wood).

Citas
Maria: All of you! You all killed him! And my brother, and Riff. Not with bullets, or guns, with hate. Well now I can kill, too, because now I have hate!

Créditos adicionales
There are no opening credits; a stylized, tinted aerial still of Manhattan is shown as the overture plays. The background changes color as the themes change throughout the overture. As the overture ends, the tinting is blue, the title appears, and the shot segues to aerial photography of Manhattan streets and landmarks.

Versiones alternativas
Most of the releases, except for the HD version that had the 2008 opening and closing MGM logos with the 1995 roar, open with a different United Artists logo. like the 1968 logo in the 1981 VHS, 1982 logo in the 1984, 88 and 91 VHS prints, the short version of the 1987 logo in the 1993 VHS, and the 1990s logo in the post-1998 VHS prints and 2003 DVD. The latter also added a closing MGM logo. Post-2024 digital version uses the short version of the 2012 MGM logo and closing 2012 MGM logo.
