The film, directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, was an adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical, and it starred Natalie Wood, George Chakiris (click on the photo), Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn and many others.
Here's more from our friends from our friends at European Film Star Postcards--and their coverage of the June 2018 Cinema Ritrovato:
WEST SIDE STORY: Every evening the public of Cinema Ritrovato gathers at the Piazza Maggiore for a spectacular open air screening. We won't miss West Side Story (1961). Buoyed by Robert Wise's dazzling direction, Leonard Bernstein's score, and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics, this musical remains perhaps the most iconic of all the Shakespeare adaptations.
