West Side Story (1961)
One of the bests
I was very young when I saw by the first time this beautiful musical. I became in love at first sight of Natalie Wood and of course of her character Maria. People don't like too much the musicals. It is a common opinion that they are not realistic. But when the eyes of Maria asked for the guilty between both gangs I think it was not possible to maintain this opinion. Despite the fact it was a Broadway musical the translation to a filmic language was wonderful. The wonderful choreography of Robert Wise was the starting point of a new style and brings to the film this magic movements that were reproduced in a fantastic way by the panavision lens. Also the incredible music of Leonard Bernstein was increased by the stereo soundtrack and is today after more than 40 years one of the best CD soundtrack albums.
