Just saw west side story the movie ...brilliant choreography. So refreshing 😌....excellent technique from the dancers...brilliant direction from Spielberg and lovely cinematography. Simply put...a breath of fresh air!
Jerome Robbins had nothing to do with the Spielberg film. He was dead. Perhaps they paid for rights to extract some things….from the ORIGINAL (1965?) film…..which Robbins Did choreograph.
One of the best actors to come out of the "Golden Age of Hollywood" Montgomery Clift, who had had a two year relationship with Jerome Robbins, said Jerry was a "theatrical genius!".
