WEST SIDE STORY: The Jets, the Sharks, and the Making of a Classic

In this detailed account, the complete offscreen tale comes to life, along with insight on what has made the film a favorite across six decades: its brilliant use of dance; a meaningful story; the performances of a youthful ensemble cast; and more. West Side Story was a triumph that appeared to be very much of the moment, and has shown itself to be eternal. Well illustrated, many in color.
