Rita Moreno, George Chakiris and Russ Tamblyn were superb. I love the Bernstein score. But most of all I love the Robbins choreography.

Not that the original film was perfect. I would love to see younger, ethnically appropriate actors in the roles who can actually SING (and dance), but I'm not enthusiastic about remaking this, especially by a director, talented though he is, with zero track record in making musicals.
