John Badham on “West Side Story”
Jan 10, 2011
Trailer 529 of 906
When you're a Jet you're a Jet! Ten Academy Awards went to Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' enduringly popular screen version of the Romeo & Juliet-derived Broadway smash. New York City delayed the razing of several blocks in West Manhattan to provide tenement backgrounds for dance numbers. That area is now Lincoln Center. John Astin makes his film debut as Glad Hand the social worker.

It's enjoyable, and Racquel's presence makes it memorable (that poster of her in her loins is an icon), but, this is far from the best of Harryhausen..

It played a couple of years back on TCM underground, and "bizarre" does kind of nail it; it doesn't really make a lick of sense, but it's quite entertaining, and I still find myself humming "What You See is What You Get" frequently. The concept of cloning black leaders to undermine the black community's leadership was a precursor to the "Undercover Brother" film years later (though that was mind control drugs, not cloning exactly).
