Haha, good point! I once saw a stage actor who played Tony in a local rep company who was definitely the weakest link. 🀣

Good point! We will never know.

I agree with you 100% about Tamblyn, Chakiris, and Moreno, but really, all the actors were fun to watch.

That’s definitely not what I was saying. Tony can be and has been played by many people. I think he was much better than he seems to believe he was, if that makes sense.

I agree with you about this. I guess it was common in the era of voice dubbing.

I really enjoyed it. I love to see new adaptations to classic novels or broadway musicals. #TCMParty #WestSideStory

Richard Beymer supposedly hated his performance in this film, but I think he underrated himself. He does a solid job as Tony, in my opinion. #TCMParty #WestSideStory

Touching β€œwedding scene” but you two crazy teenagers have only known each other for a day. 🀣 #TCMParty #WestSideStory

In the stage musical, β€œOfficer Krupke” is sung after the rumble, and β€œCool” is sung by Riff before the rumble. They switched them for the movie, which honestly, works better. #TCMParty #WestSideStory

It’s a tie with β€œCool.” #TCMParty #WestSideStory

West Side Story would be nothing without the beautiful music of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. Absolutely gorgeous lyrical heaven. #TCMParty #WestSideStory

I’ve been a fan of #WestSideStory since 1983, when I watched the movie in my grandparents den on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I’ve seen it on stage a few times,too. I even have the recording Bernstein did with the opera singers in the 1980s. I love this music so much. #TCMParty

I can’t believe you’ve never seen this. This was my absolute favorite movie when I was young. It’s still one of my favorites, but I wouldn’t say it’s my absolute favorite anymore. I love it. The Spielberg version was wonderful, too. It’s the music that gets me. #TCMParty #WestSideStory

I don’t have cable, but I use sling (blue) with the Hollywood add-on. It’s about $60 a month. The only channel I care about is TCM. #TCMParty

The look on the cook’s face tells us all we need to know, and confirms our suspicions that Tyrone Power is no good. #TCMParty #WitnessForTheProsecution

I’m here for one of my favorite movies of all time, with its stacked cast, although I’m not sure I will stay awake. Even though it’s only 7:15pm on the West Coast, it’s been a very long day and I’m exhausted. #TCMParty #ARoomWithAView

That’s so crazy because they all came after we moved away. There were a few wineries nearby, of course, but not along Dry Creek Road (I lived on W. Dry Creek). I remember going wine tasting there with my in-laws, probably 25 years ago. I was shocked by all the wineries and tasting rooms.
