Winner of 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, this classic musical set among the tenements of New York City finds star-crossed lovers Maria (Natalie Wood) and Tony (Richard Beymer) caught in the midst of a turf war between rival street gangs.

One of the first musicals I ever got into. All the songs are still stuck in my head (except Officer McClusky, t's hard to remember!). Solid film adaptation.
