Review of West Side Story (1961) by Greg S — 03 Jul 2009

I cannot get that damned whistle out of my head.

I loved the opening shot flying over New York, loved the colours in all the scenes and how they all related to what was playing out.

So let me get this straight.. couple finds each other at a dance and 2 days later they've already decided they are getting married and in love enough to kill themselves if they cannot be together. The world was certainly a different place back then.. so different the gang members danced around all prissy and stuff.

Favourite scene was probably the dance at the gym.
