Other than updating the casting to be more inclusive - the original film featured Natalie Wood and George Chakiris as Puerto Rican characters - is there really a need for another version of the story, based loosely on Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”? It’s what you think about when you think “Broadway musical.” Steven Spielberg's direction is soaring It’s old-time show tunes and staging, acrobatic gang rumbles and fire-escape serenades. The 1961 adaptation won 10 Oscars, including one for Rita Moreno, who appears in the new film. Now comes another version of “West Side Story,” a true classic of the stage and screen. This is to say that in both cases it didn’t feel like simply pointing cameras at a stage production.

It’s been a big year for musicals translated to film: “ In the Heights” and “ tick … tick … Boom!” made the transition successfully, largely through overwhelming intensity on the part of the cast and filmmakers. View Gallery: Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler star in Spielberg's 'West Side Story'
