A Part of The Music Box 70mm Film Festival 2022

70mm with DTS Sound from Park Circus

Adapted from the incredibly successful Broadway play, even the magnificent 70mm frame has trouble containing the raw energy of WEST SIDE STORY. Robert Wise (THE SOUND OF MUSIC, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL) co-directed with Jerome Robbins, who had a nervous breakdown midway through production–the results are visible on screen, and it was worth it. For our money, this is one of the best looking prints of the festival, and it also has the best end credits sequence by Saul Bass.
