West Side Story
The Jets, the Sharks, and the Making of a Classic
Click here to download the lo-res final PDF
A captivating, richly illustrated full account of the making of the ground-
breaking movie classic West Side Story (1961).
A major hit on Broadway, on film West Side Story became immortal-a movie different from
anything that had come before, but this cinematic victory came at a price. In this engrossing
volume, film historian Richard Barrios recounts how the drama and rivalries seen onscreen played
out to equal intensity behind-the-scenes, while still achieving extraordinary artistic feats. The
making and impact of West Side Story has so far been recounted only in vestiges. In the pages of this
book, the backstage tale comes to life along with insight on what has made the film a favorite across
six decades: its brilliant use of dance as staged by erstwhile co-director Jerome Robbins; a
meaningful story, as set to Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's soundtrack; the
performances of a youthful ensemble cast featuring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris,
and more; a film with Shakespearean roots (Romeo and Juliet) that is simultaneously timeless and
current. West Side Story was a triumph that appeared to be very much of its time; over the years it
has shown itself to be eternal.
Richard Barrios is the author of the award-winning A Song in the Dark: The Birth of the Musical
Film, Screened Out: Playing Gay in Hollywood from Edison to Stonewall, and Turner Classic
Movies: Must-See Musicals. He has presented films at the Smithsonian Institute and the Film
Forum; appeared in documentary films; and contributed audio commentaries to numerous DVD and
Blu-Ray releases.
