The film version of West Side Story is an adaptation of the stage play in which the relationship of two lovers is complicated by the animosity of two rival street gangs, akin to Romeo and Juliet. The two leads are Tony (Richard Beymer), a member of the Jets gang, and his love interest Maria (Natalie Wood), who is a sister to the leader of the Sharks gang. Like most musicals, the film is best remembered for its songs and dance sequences, which include "Maria", "America", "Tonight" and "I Feel Pretty".
