for one - the visual perspective as Tony walks down the street during 'Maria' is totally cheesy and fake looking. -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:03 12
- Yes, completely ruins the movie! -- nm - LMS Jan 26, 07:09 5
  - Natalie Wood doesn't even sing! -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:38 4
    - And barely dances -- nm - JD Jan 26, 07:51 3
      - The character of Maria generally doesn't really dance much except for the dreamy mambo sequence at 'The Dance At The Gym'. - Diva Jan 26, 07:56

        well, she never does that... -- nm - Beaker Jan 26, 07:54
- Diva came with the receipts. -- nm - MDH Jan 26, 07:08 5
  - Yeah, WSS was great for its day but in many technical ways it has *not* aged well at all -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 07:09 4
    - Plus the brownface and all that... -- nm - Ender Jan 26, 07:38
    - this. it's still wonderful, but an update would not be the worst idea. And the Maria could actually do her own singing this time. -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:38
    - I enjoy the hip slang daddio! -- nm - LMS Jan 26, 07:21 1
      - Cut the frabba-jabba!! (yes, that's an actual line.) -- nm - Diva Jan 26, 07:39
