  The music from the movie West Side Story is adapted from the original musical.

  95% of what you hear in the film was composed as a stage musical. Bernstein added a bit of underscoring but the songs, dances and most of the conective music were composed for the original Broadway production.

  Now if somebody did a list of great music from 20th century American Theater and left off West Side Story - then I'd be honked.

  • The article says"film scores", and doesn´t mention "original". And "Out of Africa" uses some Mozart, doesn´t it? (nt) - orejones 01:57:07 10/05/05 (1)

      The movie "West Side Story" contains virtually no music composed for film i.e. a *film score*.

      BTW, Out of Africa's score doesn't contain 99% Mozart.

    ..I'm glad Psycho is there...I can still see Janet Leigh peering through the rain driven windscreen, on the run with the booty, with that music that tells you everything bad is up front...
    The up-front music is, of course, that high pitched 'scissor-whistle'...!!!

      I posted here recently that Herrman was shooting for a "black and white sound".
