    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood) sing on the balcony.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Romeo and Juliet is updated to the tenements of New York City in this Oscar-winning musical landmark. Adapted by Ernest Lehman from the Broadway production, the movie opens with an overhead shot of Manhattan, an effect that director Robert Wise would repeat over the Alps in The Sound of Music four years later. We are introduced to two rival street gangs: the Jets, second-generation American teens, and the Sharks, Puerto Rican immigrants. When the war between the Jets and Sharks reaches a fever pitch, Jets leader Riff (Russ Tamblyn) decides to challenge the Sharks to one last "winner take all" rumble. He decides to meet Sharks leader Bernardo (George Chakiris) for a war council at a gymnasium dance; to bolster his argument, Riff wants his old pal Tony (Richard Beymer), the cofounder of the Jets, to come along. But Tony has set his sights on vistas beyond the neighborhood and has fallen in love with Bernardo's sister, Maria (Natalie Wood), a love that, as in Romeo and Juliet, will eventually end in tragedy. In contrast to the usual slash-and-burn policy of Hollywood musical adaptations, all the songs written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for the original Broadway production of West Side Story were retained for the film version, although some alterations were made to appease the Hollywood censors, and the original order of two songs was reversed for stronger dramatic impact. The movie more than retains the original choreography of Jerome Robbins, which is recreated in some of the most startling and balletic dance sequences ever recorded on film. West Side Story won an almost-record ten Oscars, including Best Picture, supporting awards to Chakiris and Rita Moreno as Bernardo's girlfriend, Anita, and Best Director to Robbins and Wise. Richard Beymer's singing was dubbed by Jimmy Bryant, Natalie Wood's by Marni Nixon (who also dubbed Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady), and Rita Moreno's by Betty Wand. The film's New York tenement locations were later razed to make room for Lincoln Center.

    Those making comments about why they had to "speak" softly on the balcony but their "loud singing" was not heard by others are missing one of the basic expressions of musical theater (which is an outgrowth of the European opera). Many such songs were to capture the moment and step outside of "real" time. Much like a verbal soliloquy spoken only to the audience. The song in this scene obviously represents the feelings they are expressing with their hearts to each other. Their words are not intended for the outside world (nor are they "heard" by the outside world). It's a form of artistic expression often featured in musicals.

      I'm sorry, but you (or anyone) can't know whether '"Natalie unfairly gave Richard the cold shoulder while filming." Please don't say you read it somewhere, or someone told you. She may have originally wanted Warren; so what? It's grossly unfair to say she was unkind in any way to Richard; we cannot know that. Look at the legendary performances they turned in; that's what will live forever: Tony and Maria and their doomed love for each other.

    Great sets and cinematography throughout this movie, and this scene in particular sets a standard that others are measured by today. The low angle camera work on the dance at the gym was groundbreaking, the fire escape stairs have become emblematic of urban life. Add to that the glorious colours, a story that is universally understood, and then we have the unsurpassed musc and songs of Bernstein. On top of all that there's the choreography and dancing which set new standards. This film is a feast for the eyes, ears and the heart.

Я рожденный в 1962, пронес любовь к этому фильму и музыке через всю жизнь. How modern and ingenious this film is, music, songs and dances, as if it were a day ago. This is the magic of the 60s, the best years of Mankind after the terrible war, when people understood the value of Life and Love. Amazing film and music that is not possible to repeat. Born in 1962, I carried the love of this film and music all my life.

    Thank you Marni Nixon. RIP Margaret Nixon McEathron (February 22, 1930 - July 24, 2016), known professionally as Marni Nixon, was an American soprano and ghost singer for featured actresses in movie musicals. She is now recognized as the singing voice of leading actresses on the soundtracks of several musicals, including Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, although her roles were concealed from audiences when the films were released.[1] Several of the songs she dubbed appeared on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs list.[2]

    Tony's such a lunk... repeatedly put Maria in danger, killed her brother (but shall we not dwell on the negative) and broke her heart by dying an hour later (after a REALLY good song by Anita!!!❤❤❤).

      Maria was the idiot who made Tony get involved in the rumble, despite not being a gang member anymore, resulting in the deaths of Riff and Bernardo.

    i always loved Bernsteins music, he was a real good composer and musician too! Natalie did not sang in this movie, but she was an good actress who died too young... May Natalie and Leo rest in peace
