West Side Story
1961/12/13 (US) | Crime, Drama, Romance
The screen achieves one of the great entertainments in the history of motion pictures.
In the slums of the upper West Side of Manhattan, tensions are high as a gang of Polish-Americans compete against a gang of recently immigrated Puerto Ricans, but this doesn't stop two romantics from each gang falling in love.
