Review of West Side Story (1961) by Vern H — 03 Oct 2012
Arguably the best musical to date, West Side Story takes the Shakespearean play and turns it into a luscious social commentary on the slum life of American and Puerto Rican gangs. Deft storytelling with excellent cinematography and musical numbers that will be in your head long after the film's dramatic closing.
