WINNER Academy Awards® – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (George Chakiris), Best Supporting Actress (Rita Moreno), 1962
Approx. 155 min.
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 singing voice of Marni Nixon) find love anyway.
Reviews
“Electric. The score is now legendary, with one extraordinary number after the next... the fluid kinetic visuals are a revelation... especially on a big screen.”
– Leonard Maltin
