What's impressive about the new Steven Spielberg rendition of WEST SIDE
STORY is that there's still today a pool of talent capable of creditably
performing their own vocals and dance moves (as well as looking good).
Of course, this material (thankfully barely "updated") is iconic beyond
commentary. Still, the upside of such universally well-known moments
and tunes is that there's not a dud in the bunch. Recommended.

I lasted 20 minutes. Nice to see Rita Moreno again but it was all surface. I may go back to see the America scene. Or maybe not.

No spoilers? It's Pyramus and Thisbe from Metamorphoses from two

Is it safe to say it was automatically deemed a "classic" because of
Spielberg?
