Who'd have thought that a classic love story like Romeo and Juliet could be transported to the 1950s New York docks? West Side Story plays out the tale through gang warfare between the Jets and the Sharks. Caught up in the struggle are Tony and Maria, whose love is opposed by just about everyone. The themes are as relevant now as in the '50s - street crime, tensions around immigration, the American dream - and some amazing songs and dance routines make this a dazzling spectacle.

This film is brill! With singing and vilonce, with seens from Romeo and Juliet Tony aka Antony. Finds his true love.With gangs fighting with each other it’s not exactly a quiet nabourhood is it now.
I recomend this film to sad seekers and romantic Baffoons.
Fascinating facts
The actors in the rival gangs were instructed to play pranks on each other off the set to keep tensions high.
