@CutandPrintFilms You are correct. My error.

@PRR5406 It is the overture!
-
This is not the overture, but a hybrid of "Quintet" and other music. Still elegant, and a tetimony to Bernstein's genius.

Favorite part = the whistles

Does this play have an alto sax part?

I watched this movie in theaters on the 50th anniversary on November 9th.......seeing this movie on the big screen just like Russ Tamblyn and Natalie Wood and George Chakiris did for the first time made me so happy. I will cherish that first fingersnap til the day I die.

Has anyone seen the 50th anniversary Blu-Ray version they just released? I read a review that they completely f**ed up the overture with a totally bogus fade-out right at the crescendo when it pans back and fades to real life!! I also heard they're going to re-issue it because they've gotten such a bad rap about that. Can anyone verify this??

@sorim69 Ugh......I am so jealous of you. I saw the 50th Anniversary Digital rerelease a few days ago, and they butchered the way it was projected. 70mm>digital
I still get chills when hearing this music. Especially at the end of the overture when the skyline of New York comes into view. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.

This is such a remarkable intro. The Orchestra is beautiful easily the best musical of all time.
