Winner of ten Oscars, 1961’s West Side Story is an iconic and indispensable element of America’s cinematic heritage. Available in an eye-popping new 50th Anniversary blu-ray edition, the film remains a surpassingly well designed and executed example of the Great American Musical. Through a synthesis of styles, the film echoes the great cultural melting pot of urban America post WWII, and uses an array of rousing set pieces to hint at the era’s growing unrest and generational division.
3 People Cussed Me Out.:
Excellent review. I love this movie, but not as much as my mom. I was always into 1950s gangs, so this was right up my alley as a kid.
Nicely done, Bunched. Your writing flows like colored leaves in a forrest stream.
Thanks guys.
