Beautifully captures the dense weave of creative voices that were involved in the film's production. Acevedo-Munoz demonstrates not only why the film's complex mix of music, dance, gender, and race has been so ardently embraced by legions of fans for the past fifty years, but also why West Side Story will continue to influence media culture well into the future. --Jeff Smith, author of The Sounds of Commerce: Marketing Popular Film Music

An outstanding work of movie scholarship. --Thomas Hischak, author of The Oxford Companion to the American Musical
