Griffith and Harold S. Prince" winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; with a sentimental script by Ernest Lehman, which borrows heavily from "Romeo & Juliet"; based on a book by Arthur Laurents) starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and George Chakiris (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). The wonderful music was by Leonard Bernstein and the equally wonderful lyrics were by Stephen Sondheim. Note that Natalie Wood's singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon (who had also dubbed The King and I and The Sound of Music), and Richard Beymer's singing was dubbed as well. Recordings exist of some of Natalie Wood's singing, and she absolutely would have been fine, but Hollywood demands perfection! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie first opened, it had a "roadshow" release (it only opened in select big cities). They did not use regular lobby cards until the movie's regular release, but instead created a really cool special set of stills (usually referred to as either "roadshow lobby cards" or "roadshow color stills). They are printed on a high quality coated paper stock, and any or all of them would look wonderful framed! The complete set has 12 in it, but the one offered here has 10. Condition: very good. The roadshow lobby cards have minor border wear but are otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
