A groundbreaking American film that changed the history of musicals. Produced in 1961, it marked the transition from light-hearted musical comedies that enjoyed singing and dancing to the era of dramatic, epic musicals with profound themes and styles. This film is a film adaptation of the Broadway hit play of the same name (with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, which premiered in 1957) that was a musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set in the slums of New York.
