I was so pleased and what a surprise to find the extra book in there too. I bought 3 sets. One for me, one for the music department at school and one for my daughter in law who also teaches music. Great gifts, but great memories of a fantastic movie.

A great package for the price. The movie and an extra DVD with behind the scenes videos and interviews with the film makers and some of the stars and also a scrapbook. I couldn't believe the price for all you get.

West Side Story is one of the greatest musicals of all time. It is was the first modern day Romeo and Juliet. WSS takes place in 1950s New York's West Side. There are two rival ethnic gangs,the Jets whom are first or second generation Americans; and the Sharks whom are Puerto Rican born. As in Romeo and Juliet there is someone in the rival clan who loves each other. Tony who was a Jet falls in love with Maria whose brother is the leader of the Sharks. This movie features dancing and singing. Jerome Robbins directed and did the choreography and Leonard Bernstein composed the scores. Such memorable scores are "America", "Tonight", "Maria" and much more. WSS won 10 Academy Awards out of a possible 11 in 1961. The American Film Institute ranked WSS as the 41st best film, 2nd best musical and 3rd best romantic movie. WSS is a must see.Read full review

Not just one of the greatest musicals but one of the greatest films ever made. A true classic from start to finish. Funny, beautiful, smart with superb acting and a magnificent score and lyrics by Bernstein and Sondheim. Rita Moreno is hystericslly funny all thru the film. The color is great and the dancing is amazing. I hadn't seen it in a few years and I had forgotten how emotional I get when I watch it. I keep watching the Jet Song and America and Sgt Krupke and Cool over and over. Also, the added comments by the cast on disc 2 is great too. I also love the behind the scenes film clips.
This was a thrill to re-visit! It was terrific when it first came out and it is a thrill today. Funny how as the years wear on,you see a movie again after so long and it is a completely different experience. Everything that was there is there,you just look at it in a whole new way.I once had the pleasure of dining with Richard Beymer. It was a very pleasant two hours and he was just as any ordinary person with no hint of the "I'm a star" persona that so many well known people adopt. Being a guy,I was completely captivated by Rita Moreno. She was just about the most beautiful,exciting chick on the screen at the time. She was (and still is) beautiful for years to come,and talented ? Lordy! The lady has a roomful of awards and deserves every one of them. This particular version of "West Side Story" comes with cast interviews and other things we never were aware of before. I like that! I bought several copies of this movie to give to friends.You will not be disappointed with this movie.Read full review
