An Original Vintage Folded Insert Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) West Side Story, the classic 1961 Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins (winners of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York City romantic dance musical ("The screen achieves one of the great entertainments in the history of motion pictures"; "'Best Picture' Winner of 10 Academy Awards 1961"; "Based upon the stage play produced by Robert E. 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. Artist: Joseph Caroff Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from the general 1962 release of this movie (after it won ten Academy Awards). It is not a re-release poster because the movie stayed in continuous release all the way through 1961 and 1962! This insert has the same Joseph Caroff art seen on the one-sheet, but it has a 1962 copyright in the lower left. There is also a different "post-Awards" insert that has a photo montage. We have never seen a "pre-Awards" insert, and we don't know if one was made, but if it was, it likely has a similar image to either this poster or the other post-awards style, except without the Academy Award information. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a purple ink pad stamp on back at upper center that bleeds through to the front (to the right of the image of the Oscar - see our image). Someone crossed out the NSS at lower right with pencil (and wrote a different one). It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
