Summary: The winner of 10 Academy Awards, this 1961 musical by choreographer Jerome Robbins and director Robert Wise ("The Sound of Music") remains irresistible. Based on a smash Broadway play updating Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" to the 1950s era of juvenile delinquency, the film stars Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer as the star-crossed lovers from different neighborhoods--and ethnicities. The film's real selling points, however, are the highly charged and inventive song-and-dance numbers, the passionate ballads, the moody sets, colorful support from Rita Moreno, and the sheer accomplishment of Hollywood talent and technology producing a film so stirring. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim wrote the score. "--Tom Keogh"
