| | West Side Story Soundtrack CD (3 Customer Reviews)
Electrifying on stage and screen - and just as exciting in superb stereo on this sensational album featuring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno, Russ Tamblyn and George Chakiris. The singing voices of the first three of those artists were dubbed at various times by Marni Nixon, Jim Bryant and Betty Wand, respectively, and they more than lived up to the challenge of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's dynamic and breathtaking score. The figures are staggering - USA: 144 weeks in the Top 40, 54 of them at number 1; UK: 175 weeks in the Top 20, including 13 at number 1. Plus a US Grammy for best soundtrack album.
1961 Remastered W/ 6 Bonus Tracks.
Composer: Leonard Bernstein.

Music composed by Jule Styne. Lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim.
The 1962 movie version of the 1959 Broadway musical hit Gypsy was one of those classic Hollywood botch jobs, although not for the usual reason, a manhandled score. No, the song list was intact. The problem was casting, with Rosalind Russell replacing Ethel Merman, but unable to fill her shoes vocally, leading to extensive dubbing by Lisa Kirk, while Natalie Wood, another non-singer, was replaced vocally by Marni Nixon. The soundtrack album did not match the released film, either, with Wood restored and Kirk taking even more of Russell's parts. It turns out that Russell pre-recorded her songs, even though she didn't get to sing most of them on-screen, and this reissue belatedly adds her performances of "Some People," "Small World," and "Everything's Coming Up Roses," along with the screen version of "Rose's Turn," a mixture of Russell and Kirk. The result will be of interest to show music and film music buffs, but they are less likely to be pleased than newly outraged that Merman didn't get to play her most memorable stage role on film. If there was any doubt that the music was beyond Russell's abilities, the newly unearthed tracks remove it. Russell struggles to approximate ...

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ...
