WEST SIDE STORY
May 7, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This 1961 movie, shown in the same Eastern time slot as Smash, demonstrates just how dynamic a filmed musical can be. The music, the dancing, the lyrics, the singing (though Natalie Wood’s singing voice is overdubbed), and, in this film, the photography – all of it is cool, boy. Real cool.
