An Original Vintage Folded Six-Sheet Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 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: Bob Peak Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this six-sheet, and that was 9 years ago, when it sold for $2,600! Also note that the artwork on this poster is signed by Bob Peak. The one-sheet, three-sheet, and other smaller size posters had completely different artwork by Joseph Caroff, but only this six-sheet of the original posters has this wonderful Bob Peak art! Condition: very good to fine. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and there are incredibly tiny tears on small parts of some folds. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
