Bernardo (George Chakiris) and Anita (Rita Moreno)are hot, hot, hot! Everyone in this film is excellent, but these two really stand out. No wonder they both got Oscars for the role. I also include the little drama before the song because I love seeing them bickering like an old married couple.
Sports
this is my fave song in the play/movie
The guys are so cool in this scene. I love their lines.
son de Puerto Rico
I’m not doubting another origin. I remember my teacher telling us in a Puerto Rican Studies class. Do the research. I don’t remember the Senator’s name. He was from the South, I believe.
Take care!
What’s with the **** towards Asians? Do you think no Chinese people made it to PR? They did. Check the history before giving a thumbs down on something you’re not getting.
I love this song and I know the words to it
STILL the best musical of that period. Almost everything else was a waste. The dnacing is vibrant and dynamic on all counts
this sounds like metallica’s dont tread on me the beginning part.
mg they dont sound from puerto rico at all!!!!
Yes, it certainly is….and keeps to the original feeling of the play, though, ironically, in the play it is sung only by the women. Adding the men-women rivalry was the only inspired change to the film…
Absolutely the best part of the film.
you came with your mouth open! lol
i was anita in my school play
this number was very fun
lol i love this scence!
the actors (like everybody else in WSS) were soooo talented. Def one of the all-time greatest movies!!
I HAVE MY OWN WASHING MACHINE.
I love America my favorite song in west side story . i love Rita Moreno she was a marvolus Anita
Bernardo:I think I go back to San Juan. Antina:I know a boat you can get on ,Bye bye Bernardo:haha. Everyone will be big cheer!Antina:Everyone there will have moved here!LOL that is my fav part of this song!
I was just thinking they should remake the movie too.
With Karen Olivo as Anita.
I know it’s shown in a movie and it’s success comes from the Broadway Musical type, but it is an Opera. It can be debated forever!
Best. Musical. Number. Ever!
This is classic. I can watch this over and over again.
I saw the new Broadway play in April. The music and dancing was great. The girl who played Maria was very good but the Jets could not sing a lick. Also I feel Pretty amd I have a love were sung in Spanish.
I first watched West Side Story about 3 months ago. Now it’s with me always and all the songs are sung in my head, again and again. I walk everyday in the rhythm of “America” going over the lyrics in my head and I dream in the melody of “Tonight”. I blame Bernstein and Sondheim for this… I can’t let it go! It is so brilliant… and if Hollywood ever funds a remake of the film I would love to be involved! I think they should by the way, to attract new generations to this classic.
