Approx. 155 min. DCP.
Ten Oscars for the dazzling screen adaptation of the Bernstein/Sondheim musical stage smash, including Best Picture, Director(s), Supporting Actor (George Chakiris) and Actress (Rita Moreno — she won a Tony and Grammy the same year!); as the Nativist Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks square off in the slums of Manhattan. But Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood, with the singing voice of Marni Nixon) find love anyway.
