West Side Story |
Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins directed this Oscar-winning musical. It's a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story, set in 1950's New York City. Rather than feuding families, however, the plot centers around two street gangs. Maria (Natalie Wood) is a Puerto Rican immigrant whose brother belongs to the Sharks, and Tony (Richard Beymer) is the Polish-American boy she loves, who is a former member of the Jets. One of the greatest musicals- and films- of all time.
Year Released: 1961
