Review of West Side Story (1961) by Mahmus — 25 Sep 2020
Beautifully shot, edited and directed.
The film's somewhat predictable Romeo and Juliet story is elevated by some very impressive song and dance numbers, as well as its gorgeous cinematography and creative editing.
It's definitely a little too long, but it's great piece of filmmaking with some really biting commentary on racial discrimination (the song "America" is a perfect example).
I love the ending credits.
