An Original 1962 Vintage 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" [18 x 23 cm] Still (Learn More) West Side Story, the classic 1961 Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins (winners of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York City romantic dance musical ("The screen achieves one of the great entertainments in the history of motion pictures"; "'Best Picture' Winner of 10 Academy Awards 1961"; "Based upon the stage play produced by Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince" winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; with a sentimental script by Ernest Lehman, which borrows heavily from "Romeo & Juliet"; based on a book by Arthur Laurents) starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and George Chakiris (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). The wonderful music was by Leonard Bernstein and the equally wonderful lyrics were by Stephen Sondheim. Note that Natalie Wood's singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon (who had also dubbed The King and I and The Sound of Music), and Richard Beymer's singing was dubbed as well. Recordings exist of some of Natalie Wood's singing, and she absolutely would have been fine, but Hollywood demands perfection! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is from the general 1962 release of this movie (after it won ten Academy Awards). It is not a re-release still because the movie stayed in continuous release all the way through 1961 and 1962! In addition, the still was reused in 1963 in a newspaper, and a clipping from that story was glued to the back, and it was date stamped from 1963 next to the picture, but that is just when the still was reused. It originally was used when first opened at the Denham Theatre on April 18, 1962. Also note that this still measures 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" [18 x 23 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good. There are some creases scattered in the still, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
