West Side Story Movie Review Message Board and Comments

Loosely based on Shakespeare's renowned "Romeo and Juliet", West Side Story is a beautiful movie/musical classic about love and romance that develop amid conflict between the white ethnic American Jets and the newly-arrived Puerto Rican Sharks on the streets of 1950s-1960's New York City's pulsating, finger-snapping West Side.
