Anecdotes
The actors in the rival gangs were instructed to play pranks on each other off the set to keep tensions high.

Gaffes
Near the end, when Maria yells "Don't you touch him!", two different voices can be heard at the same time in the first half of the phrase (in fact, this is singer Marni Nixon overdubbing for Natalie Wood).

Citations
Maria: All of you! You all killed him! And my brother, and Riff. Not with bullets, or guns, with hate. Well now I can kill, too, because now I have hate!

Générique farfelu
There are no opening credits; a stylized, tinted aerial still of Manhattan is shown as the overture plays. The background changes color as the themes change throughout the overture. As the overture ends, the tinting is blue, the title appears, and the shot segues to aerial photography of Manhattan streets and landmarks.

Autres versions
Most of the releases, except for the HD version that had the 2008 opening and closing MGM logos with the 1995 roar, open with a different United Artists logo. like the 1968 logo in the 1981 VHS, 1982 logo in the 1984, 88 and 91 VHS prints, the short version of the 1987 logo in the 1993 VHS, and the 1994 logo in the post-1998 VHS prints and 2003 DVD. The latter also added a closing MGM logo.

Someday, We'll Find A New Way Of Living....

"Hold my hand and we're half-way there... Hold my hand and I'll take you there...."

Even though I'm not a big fan of this particular genre of film. I found West Side Story to be so impressively produced that it somehow transcended far beyond being just a mere "Musical" in the strictest sense of the word.

West Side Story is literally bursting at the seams and filled to capacity with vivid imagery. This highly-energized film clearly captures the vibrant atmosphere of the late 1950s, where rival youth gangs get their prejudiced, little noses out of joint and prepare to rumble in the streets of NYC.

With its memorable music and songs, dazzling choreography, striking sets and superb direction by Robert Wise, West Side Story is truly a triumph on every level.

This film is a magnificent achievement that (back in 1961) set a whole new standard for modern-day movie Musicals.
