I 1961 overførtes Leonard Bernsteins geniale musical fra Broadways scener til filmens magiske univers, hvilket - overraskende nok – gav den endnu et løft, der bragte den helt op i filmhistoriens øverste luftlag. West Side Story blev nomineret til 11 Oscars i 1962, af hvilke den vandt de 10, bl.a. Bedste Film! Historien er en klassisk Shakespearsk Romeo & Julie tragedie: Den yndige, uskyldige puertoricanske Maria, der er søster til en barsk bandeleder i New Yorks underverden, forelsker sig i Tony, der er modvilligt medlem af en rivaliserende bande amerikanske drenge. Deres kærlighed er stærk, ren – og bliver relativt kort – for deres respektive familier er ude af stand til at acceptere kærlighed på tværs af egne rækker. Filmen drives af en formidabel intensitet, der både kan tilskrives den medrivende musik, men også den ekvilibristiske koreografi, der fuldender den allerede betagende oplevelse.
