I think that review is from "New York Magazine" not "The New Yorker". In any case the author is extremely angry, but I'm not sure his points can all be taken seriously. It's an American Broadway musical based on "Romeo and Juliet". Which is full of racism. Or maybe it's familialism. Perhaps...

I love Edie Adams. I was lucky enough to see her in "Can-Can" at Melodyland Theater in Anaheim years and years ago. More recently (but still a long time ago), I met her. She was in the audience of a production of "Ilya, Darling" (musical version of "Never on Sunday") in Los Angeles. The...

And Monica Vitti.

It is surprising to me how much advertising is still being promulgated, and it is still in theaters. I imagine that is to foment Oscar buzz and nominations.

I saw it at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, but I don't recall the exact date, compared to the New York opening. Someone here must know that information though.

OR ANYWHERE!!!!

Does anyone know what the Los Angeles Philharmonic recorded on the soundtrack? Only the New York Philharmonic musicians are listed.

I would add t this that the advertisements for WSS were and are (so far) endless. I grew tired of them before I ever saw the film itself.

I know several older people whose musical tastes are still in the world of Rogers and Hammerstein, who despise all modern musicals since R&H especially Sondheim. One person I know hated WSS because it was so violent and left her stressed out at the end. It's a puzzlement. Broadway has always...

I've seen two different productions of "West Side Story" on the stage. Now I have seen two different productions on a movie screen. I liked them all.

Mr. Beymer is a fine actor. Perhaps the problem is the part, not the actor. When I think of Ansel Elgort, I am reminded of Hayden Christensen in "Star Wars 1-2-3. What could anyone do with parts like these? I do not know.
