Well Deserved Oscars! Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins made a memorable work directing the movie! ''West Side Story'' is the greatest musical EVER! Leonard Bernstein is a genius! ''West Side Story'' to me is Hollywood at its best and I can watch it a million times and never gets old!

It's awful and a very poor choice. It hasn't stood the test of time. Almost everyone in it is miscast. Rossen or Kramer should have won. Oddly, Robbins was fired pretty early in the process of making the film. Robert Wise directed 3/4 of it himself.

The Coen Brothers shared an Oscar for No Country for Old Men. Warren Beatty and Buck Henry shared a nod for Heaven Can Wait in 78. Wise and Robbins were not speaking at this point as the former had the latter removed from the film for taking too much time with the dances. Still, the final result is magic.

It wasn't until 2008 that there was another directing duo that won the Oscar for Best Director, the Coen brothers(No country for old men)and finally in 2023 when history repeated itself with The Daniels(Everything everywhere all at once).

Jerome took 3 months of rehearsal time...and kept'd changing it on all the dancers...making it even harder on them..and Production Cost were running sky high..because of Robbins retakes...He only filmed 4 dance sequences...Then The Mirsch Family Fired Robbins...and kept'd Robbins co-workers to help with the rest of the filming.

That's right! Jerome is also the responsible for the choreography in ''The King and I''. Jerome also won an Honorary Oscar ''for his brilliant achievements in the art of choreography on film'', presented by Gene Kelly.

Jerome Robbins was fired by the studio - not Robert Wise - for taking too much time rehearsing the choreographed numbers. And from what I understand, Robbins was indeed tyrannical and brutally demanding - and look at the results. Performers who worked with him may not have found him warm and fuzzy, but did refer to him as a genius. Very well deserved Oscar for a great film (even with a miscast Beymer...wonder how Burt Reynolds would have done).

Robert Wise went on to direct..that Bloated Zeppelin Flic..The Hindenburg..Where every German in the Wise’s Hindenburg sounded..American. Then let’s not forget A film that is 100% as Bloated as Robert Wise..The Sand Pebbles…Zzzz…Then Robert Wise was select..I don’t know how..to Direct that most muddle bullshit on the screen…Star Trek: The Truly Boring Picture! Let’s not forget about the massive dribble of the most dumb cluck movie..all because of the wonderful pacing and action of the Dull Directing of Robert Wise....The Abdominal Strain! Let’s not forget how Brilliant Robert Wise he was to CAST A WHITE GIRL TO PLAY LATINO MARIA IN WEST SIDE STORY! 🤮🥴👎☹💩…Are you talking about that fucked up bloated Robert Wise?

I know I'm in the minority here, but West Side Story is a terribly miscast and stagey screen musical. Part of the magic of the stage piece is how theatrical it is-- and stage and screen are different mediums entirely. I will say however, that the sequences that work best in the film, namely the Prologue and "Cool" were Jerome Robbins' work. Wise is a screen legend and made some wonderful films (and edited Citizen Kane!) but his two 60s screen musicals are hardly his best work. Sound of Music, too, works thanks to the charm of its leading lady. Not a great film, beloved or not.

@bman56010 жыл бұрын
The music and dancing are what make West Side Story worth watching. It seems very dated. However, I disagree with your opinion of Robert Wise and The Sound of Music. The Sound of Music, while extremely saccharine, is still very watchable and like West Side Story brilliantly edited. Wise deserves plenty of credit.

Everyone hated Jerome Robbins. He was horrid to work with. He was a genius but no one on Broadway or in Hollywood liked working with him. A real pain in the ass. WSS is an awful film. The only way to like it is if you've never seen a stage version. Wise did much better with Sound of Music, which is a far superior film, though not nearly as good a stage play as WSS.
