WEST SIDE STORY

Three Sheet (41" x 79.5")
Very Fine on Linen; Artwork by Joseph Caroff
United Artists, 1961

This attractive, large-format poster, printed in two panels, was folded before being expertly linen-backed. Prior to restoration, the poster had minimal issues, mainly some fold and center point wear. A small rubber stamp is present on the mid-right side. The poster is a beautiful representation of the pre-Academy Awards era.

Capturing ten Academy Awards, this vibrant musical captivated America and quickly rose to classic status. The romance between Maria and Tony, portrayed by Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer, unfolds on the gritty streets of New York, providing a dramatic backdrop for the skirmishes of the opposing gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. With Leonard Bernstein's music, Robert Wise's direction, and a remarkable performance by Rita Moreno, the film remains an indelible masterpiece.
