This sucks cuz the audio is out of sync. Kind of important with a video like this: dance with syncopated rhythms. I've seen this musical more times than I can count growing up and I'm also a dancer so I noticed it right away. Please fix it!
I am thirteen years old and I absolutely love these kinds of movies. Eliot Feld (Baby-John) had pneumonia during this whole scene if you can't tell, and he passed out from exhaustion after this scene and they had to take him away to the hospital. This movie is amazing, sad, and so attractive at the same time. I love Baby-John. R.I.P Tucker Smith and Natalie Wood.
The principles are such well trained dancers and actors. The combination, set against a perfect score make a ballet that is descriptive of where these kids are psychologically. Possibly the most well crafted modern dance musicals ever made.
Tucker Smith "Ice" 1936-1988 Great dancer! Tony Mordente "A-rab" met Chita Rivera "Anita" and married her in 1957; he is 5'5". My crushes were George Chakiris [5'11"] and Richard Beymer [6'2"]. I think I first saw this movie in 1965 in CA. I love it so much! Thank you so much for uploading this!
@mangledinal Sorry to be so pedantic, especially with some one who, like me, adores this movie, but didn`t Tony Mordente play `action`,...............Oh, by the way, i`m 6`2".
@MrValiant61 I am sorry. Tony did play Action; David Winters played A-rab. 6'2" is a perfect height for a man. I am 5'10". Hard to find guys as tall as you, Mr. Valiant. Take good care.
Did a youth theatre version of this when I was 19,got to play Diesel and do this,the best number in the show. A few years later I landed my dream stage role, Riff in another production of West Side Story, but the proper stage version,guess what,in that Riff gets this number and loses Officer Krupkee,fair swap IMHO :)
- "Cool" was such a demanding number for the performers, Harvey Evans (aka Harvey Hohnecker), who played Mouthpiece, later stated that the actors ritually burned their kneepads upon wrapping the scene.
- Eliot Feld (Baby John) collapsed and ended up hospitalized with pneumonia during the demanding filming of "Cool".
@Spiritcycle1 His nickname was diesel in the play and the song was song by Riff before the fight . The song sung at this stage was the comedic "Officer Krupke" it was swapped over (a great idea in my opinion) as it was felt that it was better suited to the film.
In the original Broadway script this song and officer Kurpke were switched. For the motion picture the director felt this song was much better before the rumble and Cool fit better after. I agree, Cool is so much more emotional after the rumble where Officer Kurpke is more lighthearted and funny.
Im sorry Glee usually represents, but they didnt for this particular rendition. Im not hatin, I just found it veeery unsatisfying. This scene is hot and electric, its dirty and sweaty full of anger and desperation; very in the moment. A decent homage to this scene requires dancers, like, REAL dancers. People who've taken ballet, jazz, modern, lyrical etc, for years. They should have recruited some old school trained dancers to back up Harry, and signed him up for some Jazz classes
@czyascanb But isn't he more hip hop based in his training? Thats the problem I wish bboys, breakdancers and the other hip-hop guys would understand, while hip hop is legitimate dancing, it would behoove them to take more traditional dance classes (ESPECIALLY BALLET) b/c that's where they get their fundamentals. It improves the hip hop dancing AND it gives them a foundation so that in case they ever wanna do a musical number, they have the training to pull of numbers requiring training w/o
@czyascanb looking awkward. Im not knockin Harry or anything, but Ive seen the performance and Im an avid fan of old school dancing. Ive seen and experienced the dance world enough to be able to look at someone performing and tell whether or not they have had classical training (believe me, it shows). Its really not Harry's fault, I blame the choreographers, directors, etc. They should prepare the cast better when it comes to dancing...
These dance moves are the most difficult, the dancers often got hurt or sick from exhaustion. The entire sequence is another masterpiece from Jerome Robbins...noone can choreograph like that now a days!! WEST SIDE STORY will continue to be the best musical of all time!! God bless them all!
OST Side 1 "Prologue" "Jet Song" "Something's Coming" "Dance at the Gym" (Blues, Promenade, and Jump) "Maria" "America" "Tonight" [edit]Side 2 "Gee, Officer Krupke" "I Feel Pretty" "One Hand, One Heart" "The Rumble" "Cool" "A Boy Like That/I Have a Love" "Somewhere"
@ShaneWLowe Actually I think you'll find Ice, as he is called, was Riff's second in command for the entire film. it's only natural he takes the Jets on after Riff dies.
December 24 at 8:00 in the morning a 14 year old boy by the name of scott johnson was found dead. Doctors coulsnt come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into MySpace. She found he had gone to sleep after he had read and didnt respond to a chain letter. If you dont repost this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry, dont wanna die
In my opinion, West Side Story is the greatest musical ever. The standards of musical theatre nowadays isn't nearly as high as this, or at least, definitely not in film adaptions. If Wicked is the best musical around at this time, then I'm quite frankly shocked. They don't make musicals like this anymore.
@Toddy354 Have you seen Billy Elliot? It's really good in my opinion, and it only came out a few years ago. And I've heard The Book of Mormon is suppose to be really good and hilarious. Also Phantom of the Opera is still out and of course that's awesome.
@IsItTheBagel OHHH yeah! I've been meaning to see Billy Elliot for ages, I love the film, so I'm hoping the musical is good too. I've never heard of The Book of Mormon, I shall check it out. Not a huge Phantom fan, but each to their own:D The Hired Man is really good and that's pretty recent I think actually...
This is one of my favourite dance numbers in the world. I could watch it millions of times. I love how they feature Baby John in this scene and show that he can really dance. Thanks so much for posting!!!
I've been a WSS fan for years and no rendition or homage will ever compare to the original.
However, I also watch Glee and although it's been boring me lately, I have to give Harry Shum Jr. credit for his effort. I don't think any other character could've done it, and not just bcuz he's the resident twinkle toes. It suited him perfectly.
There are a lot of purists in the arts but they need to get off their pedestals and appreciate that pop culture is helping to bring back the classics.
@VampireMadonna I completely agree, of course it helps that I find Harry Shum Jr. totally attractive anyway. That being said, you also do need to give Glee props that they did the original and not basing it off the movie. Not that the above song done by Ice wasn't awesome, it's just good to do a tribute to the actual original musical. My friend and I saw Phantom of the Opera live and she hated it because "it wasn't like the movie". I hit her >.<
I've read about how hellish this was to shoot, for all involved, and the girls in this scene didn't even get screen credits. But wow, did it pay off. Best sequence in the movie, and the movie is full of good sequences. So emotional and intense, really bringing the whole IDEA of expressing story through dance and music into full fruition. It's a triumphal scene. I thought Mike Chang did a good job, but his version, charged as it was, doesn't hold a candle to the original.
Don't knock the Harry Shum's performance, it was amazing! He really stayed true to the source material from the cadence of the song to the choreography, while still finding ways to make this performance his own. As somebody who LOVES WSS, what Harry did was pretty amazing too
@renatastarzforeve21 Well... half of the new comments are about people who got here because of Glee, so I decided to say I came here because of how amazing West Side Story is, I don´t see you asking them it they want a prize for being here because of Glee...
@melirose89 Okay so maybe some people are here because of Glee but that doesn't mean they didn't know West Side Story before. And even if they didn't you should be happy that Glee introduces this amazing music to younger generations. :)
So nobody else thinks this scene is absolutely humiliating, the most embarassing thing they've ever witnessed? I love the movie, but I'd like to nuke this scene.
I can just imagine Mike Chang singing and dancing to this. I CAN'T WAIT NEXT WEEK! But even before I heard that this was gonna be on Glee, I ALWAYS LOVED WEST SIDE STORY! <3
apparently wne they made this video the guy who plays baby john fainted once and he had to be rushed to hospital cause he got hypothermia because it was is warm were they filmed it and they instuntly went outside were it was cold to cool down
pretty sure that the description of this song is wrong...They are not trying to play it cool after Riff's death...considering Riff sings in this song...
This is the best part of a great movie! Tucker Smith in those tight-ass Chinos=Damn!!!!!! And the best part of this song/dance number is when they all squeeze 2-gether, dance 2-togrther for a few seconds all squeezed 2-gether and then they all jump in the air at the same damn time!!!!!!!!!! How did they do that???? Can you believe this awesome is 50 years old????? It'll still be a classic when it's 100!!!!!!!!!!!!
@chessman2200 shut the fuck up you douche bag piece of fuckin shit, i never meant to say that its a bad video, i agree that its awsome i was just laughing from the comment that the guy left that got alot of thumbs up "I wanna shit! shit cool!", so fuck you, you fucking asshole, i hope you and your entire fuckin family pass away!!!!! go eat shit you son of a fuckin whore bitch
Ice(Tucker Smith)is so damn sexy. His eyes are just incredible, especially in that retreat into shadows crouching shot, you can see his eyes like a caged animal. Fantastic
@zona999 Same here. I read that the role of "Ice" was specifically written for the film to ensure Tucker Smith was in the cast. He was talented. Sadly he passed away in 1988.
I am so glad they switched this and Krupke around from the play. It makes a lot more sense and matches with what is happening right now.

- Eliot Feld (Baby John) collapsed and ended up hospitalized with pneumonia during the demanding filming of "Cool".

This the culmination of masterful coreography with cinematography; probably one of the best in filming history.

This is probably one of the best scenes ever. I love how dramatic it is. Does ANYONE else want to learn this? The choreography is amazing.

pretty sure that the description of this song is wrong...They are not trying to play it cool after Riff's death...considering Riff sings in this song...

This is the best part of a great movie! Tucker Smith in those tight-ass Chinos=Damn!!!!!! And the best part of this song/dance number is when they all squeeze 2-gether, dance 2-togrther for a few seconds all squeezed 2-gether and then they all jump in the air at the same damn time!!!!!!!!!! How did they do that???? Can you believe this awesome is 50 years old????? It'll still be a classic when it's 100!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy who plays A-rab here played Baby John in the original Broadway run. He became a major choreographer himself after this movie.

Ice(Tucker Smith)is so damn sexy. His eyes are just incredible, especially in that retreat into shadows crouching shot, you can see his eyes like a caged animal. Fantastic

@zona999 Same here. I read that the role of "Ice" was specifically written for the film to ensure Tucker Smith was in the cast. He was talented. Sadly he passed away in 1988.
