A 1968 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 81" x 81") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This six-sheet was printed in 4 sections. Condition: very good to fine. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There is some darkening and slight extra wear on the part of the back of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, typical of folded six-sheets (but it has little effect on the front of the poster). There is a good chance that this poster was never used (it was like send to a poster exchange, and then probably stayed there until it was sold to a collector). The poster has survived in nice condition, but has a few VERY minor imperfections, typical of this type of poster, and typical of the defects caused by opening and closing the posters, and the aging of the paper over many years. We may have written just a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are very minor. You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster, which will confirm just how few defects this poster has! Learn More about condition grades
