This 1961 musical film was, and remains, a towering work of art blending cinematic expression, dance and choreography, timeless lyrics and music which resonates with each new generation of film goers. Derived from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story blends poignant social commentary, such as intolerance and racism, with first love. All this content could detract from the entertainment but not here. Directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise with a superb screenplay by Ernest Lehman, and quality performances of the cast, including Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, Russ Tamblyn and others, the stars lined up and art shined through.
Movies at the Redford are packed full of fun side attractions, including the opening lounge piano stylings by Elizabeth Seward beginning when the doors open. The Redford Theatre is located at the NE corner of Grand River and Lahser Rd. in the heart of Detroit’s Old Redford neighborhood.
