Description: This secondhand VHS tape is factory sealed. A triumph on every level, this electrifying musical sets the ageless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet against a backdrop of gang warfare in the slums of 1950's New York. Directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, and "Tonight") of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim with Robbins' own exuberant choreography to capture the story with heartbreaking richness. Natalie Wood is breathtaking as Maria, a young woman whose first taste of love is fated in tragedy amidst the vicious rivalry of two street gangs - the Jets and the Sharks - one Anglo, one Puerto Rican. Along with Richard Beymer ("Twin Peaks") who stars as Maria's devoted lover, the gifted young cast also features Rita Moreno and George Chakiris - both of whom won Oscars® for their supporting roles. Gathering a total of ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and setting a standard for movie musicals that remains unsurpassed to this day, West Side Story is that rare and transcendent fusion of realism and fantasy that will forever be a feast for the eye, the ear and ultimately, the heart.
