CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood) sing about their hope to run away together.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Romeo and Juliet is updated to the tenements of New York City in this Oscar-winning musical landmark. Adapted by Ernest Lehman from the Broadway production, the movie opens with an overhead shot of Manhattan, an effect that director Robert Wise would repeat over the Alps in The Sound of Music four years later. We are introduced to two rival street gangs: the Jets, second-generation American teens, and the Sharks, Puerto Rican immigrants. When the war between the Jets and Sharks reaches a fever pitch, Jets leader Riff (Russ Tamblyn) decides to challenge the Sharks to one last "winner take all" rumble. He decides to meet Sharks leader Bernardo (George Chakiris) for a war council at a gymnasium dance; to bolster his argument, Riff wants his old pal Tony (Richard Beymer), the cofounder of the Jets, to come along. But Tony has set his sights on vistas beyond the neighborhood and has fallen in love with Bernardo's sister, Maria (Natalie Wood), a love that, as in Romeo and Juliet, will eventually end in tragedy. In contrast to the usual slash-and-burn policy of Hollywood musical adaptations, all the songs written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for the original Broadway production of West Side Story were retained for the film version, although some alterations were made to appease the Hollywood censors, and the original order of two songs was reversed for stronger dramatic impact. The movie more than retains the original choreography of Jerome Robbins, which is recreated in some of the most startling and balletic dance sequences ever recorded on film. West Side Story won an almost-record ten Oscars, including Best Picture, supporting awards to Chakiris and Rita Moreno as Bernardo's girlfriend, Anita, and Best Director to Robbins and Wise. Richard Beymer's singing was dubbed by Jimmy Bryant, Natalie Wood's by Marni Nixon (who also dubbed Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady), and Rita Moreno's by Betty Wand. The film's New York tenement locations were later razed to make room for Lincoln Center.

While I hugely appreciated listening to Rita Moreno's singing voice again in the remake, I totally missed the sadness and drama felt when hearing Tony and Maria singing this song. It's incredibly sad. You can feel hope, but at the same time you know everything's lost. This scene breaks me every time.
Agree
I just said the same thing. Huge mistake giving her the best song 🎶
1000% agree. Mentioned to my wife as the scene began that I couldn’t believe they’d taken the moment away from Ansel and Rachel. But bigger picture, l watched and I listened but was thinking of the original version thru the whole movie. Nothing from Spielberg’s take has stuck w me at all.
@@robertshroder2672 Totally agreed. I really like Ansel and Rachel's singing in the new movie and taking away this song was a huge misstep. I thought maybe they might have recorded it just for the album, but no such luck. Would have really liked to hear it.
I know, I would have at least liked a bonus track of Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler singing this.
This song is so much sadder after the ending of the movie. Amazing film
“Don’t spoil the ending.” - William Shakespeare
Yeaa
True classic!
aaaa
so beautiful
I saw this American opera as a young boy and fell crazy in love with music and romance itself...here 50 years later it still brings tears to my eyes!!!
vic taglianetti me too!! I was 13 years old. Have loved it since then!! Now 62!! Lol
me too
I don't think she exactly liked Kirk Douglas either.
Yea Tears forsure for me
@@dwaynes6330 Great music. Lennie is a master.
60 years old and i still cry with this scene 😢
same
75...I just watched it again streaming. 4 tissue movie. I tried to watch the Spielberg version but just couldn't get through it. The magic was gone.
Rest In Peace Stephan Sondheim. I hope you found that somewhere you wrote about so many years ago.
... and Lenny. RIP
This song is so universal that it doesnt have to be in the name of romance to make you cry.
You are so right. This song goes right to your soul. If one is not affected by this song, then they have no soul. How sad is that.
This song really resonates at a time like this. "Somewhere, there's a place for us...We'll find a new way of living."
❤❤
it will happen
Boy, this lady is some hell of an actress. Her acting here is fantastic!
great actress
Guess what
She didnt win an Oscar
natalie wood was considered the biggest star in Hollywood with Elizabeth taylor during the 60s
Indeed It's a terrific performance.
Always loved Natalie!
This is one of the best scenes in the movie! I always get teary eyed when this part comes.
me too
Yea
Me too
Oh the ending does me in everytime. I didn’t see this film until November in 2016 on TCM and I didn’t know how it would end so I was shocked and was crying.
@@jamesmoyner7499 Yes, there are many tear-jerking moments in this movie; but when Maria sings it to Tony at the end, I completely lose it every time. 😭😭😭
This song makes me so emotional! I use to sing this song with my nana when I was young, I remember the day she passed 😭 she told me today is her time to go and we sang this song for the last time on 13th september 2006 ❤ RIP nana I will always love and remember you, until we meet again ❤
My god 😢
aww i am so sorry for your loss 💔
Just a little trivia :Even though dubbing Natalie Wood was Marni Nixon's chief assignment, Nixon also did one number for Rita Moreno, which required a relatively high vocal register. Having dubbed Wood as well as Moreno, Nixon felt she deserved a cut of the movie-album royalties. Neither the movie or the record producers would bow to her demands. Leonard Bernstein broke the stalemate by volunteering a percentage of his income, a gesture of loyalty-royalty since Nixon had been a performer-colleague of his at New York Philharmonic concerts. He ceded one-quarter of one percent of his royalties to her (a generous amount).
Slim Symes Which Anita song did Marnie Nixon dub? That’s great, thank you for your generosity as always Lenny.
@@lucyfoster4082 A Boy Like That.
yes I remember seeing a documentary on bbc4 where Marni discussed that and a time after dub artists got paid and recognition.... Marni was such a voice.
Lucy Foster It's actually Betty Wand who dubs Moreno for ”A Boy Like That.” Nixon dubs her in the high sections of ”Tonight Quintet.” She dubs her from the line ”Tonight, tonight, late tonight, we’re gonna mix it tonight” through to the end.
They should have used their own voices
This song is so simple lyrically but so profoundly beautiful. It also highlights both the reason for Tony and Maria’s love at first sight as well as the tragedy about to happen. Tony and Maria are the ONLY people in the neighborhood that want peace. Everyone else wants their separate worlds. And in the end, absolutely everyone is at fault for the tragedy that ensues. Maria forced Tony to stop the gang fight, putting him in a dangerous situation after he wanted nothing to do with the gangs. Tony killed Bernardo prompting Chico to seek revenge. Bernardo killed Riff angering Tony. Riff called the gang meeting in the first place. Anita lies about Maria dying causing Tony to want to die. The Jets assault Anita making her not want to help. It’s all one big tragedy that could have been avoided if Tony and Maria could’ve escaped “somewhere”.
Its modern day Romeo and Juliet old Billy Shakespear could tell a good tale.
so true you nailed it
@@patrickkelly7085 Well, Billy Shakespear didn't come up with it either. You can trace this kind of story back to Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe.
@@friesiVF13 West Side Story is a musical with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It was inspired by William Shakespeare 's play Romeo and Juliet. The story is set in the mid 1950s in the Upper West Side of New York City, then a multiracial, blue-collar neighborhood.
@@patrickkelly7085 I am aware that Romeo and Juliet was the inspiration. I'm just saying that Shakespeare didn't invent the plot. It is a story that has been around for millenia, which makes this a truely timeless story.
As much as I love and adore Rita Moreno , this is Tony and Marie’ song❤️
First the actual Natalie Wood, now her playback singer. May both Marias rest in peace.
this comment
I did not know thanks
yes
The ending in the new version left me cold. The ‘61 version still affects me, still saddens me 60 years later.
Spielberg gave this song to Rita Moreno instead of letting Maria and Tony do it, the song is meant for TWO people so as much as I really liked the new version I thought that was a big mistake. Second guessing Spielberg feels a bit ridiculous but that is what I felt.
I felt the same, even though I liked the new version I think the ending fell a little flat, it wasn’t as impactful as the original
@@gargantuaism In the original Broadway production, this song wasn't sung by Tony and Maria, it was sung by the character Consuela, so I think Spielberg or Kushner decided to go that route and give it to Valentina as a hymn. I think it works beautifully here.
@@gargantuaism Yes the new version was OK but Spielberg said he'll never do another musical movie again And the song was meant only for Maria and Tony as much as I love Rita marino
The song was not originally meant for Tony and Maria.
I keep forgetting about this song. But then I rediscover it. What a gift for the heart.
I really loved the 2021 remake of this movie but I have to say the biggest misstep that it makes is not giving this song to tony and maria. this song perfectly depicts their romance as something forbidden and pushes for the characters to long for a place where they can be together. not having them sing this song together in the 2021 version really makes maria’s actions in the 3rd act a bit less believable in my opinion.
Totally agree. Pulled me right out of teh movie. I was gutted and had to Google why they weren't singing it. I appreciate they adapted the stage show not the film, but sometimes you have to acknowledge when a change wa shade for the better and run with it.
Just finished watching the remake and I don't care if Steven Spielberg directed it, it was an abomination. Lack of feeling. They just wrecked this classic in every way possible. I still cry when I see the original. I didn't get the same feeling not a bit with this remake. I'm Puerto Rican and they portrait us like stupid dumbs exaggerating the accent. None of the actors had an ounce of charisma. Not even Rita could save it.
I disagree. I think it brings more emotion having Valentina sing it as a sort of hymn to hope. (This wasn't sung by Tony and Maria in the original Broadway show either. So it worked, for me anyway, here.)
@@paposwing2925 I think that's your nostalgia talking. In more ways than one, the remake surpasses the original. But, to each their own.
@@paposwing2925 you must dislike the broadway show because this movie, outside the Spanish dialogue, was much closer to that then the 1961 movie
This is my favorite love song in all of musical theatre, maybe of all time! It's just so beautiful! I cry every time!
I agree
My favorite movie musical of all time. My parents saw the live Broadway show when I was young kid, Remember, they couldn't stop talking about the show for days. One of most beautiful universal songs ever written.
My marching band is playing this song for our show and it’s absolutely beautiful. Hearing the parts of the song and correlating them to other instruments parts is so satisfying and just amazing.
Omg samee
You could tell me they were married and I’d believe it. I mean he rubbed her back while he was holding her and was just reaching always to be close to her! That such amazing acting and feelings!
I watched this with my mam when I was young and every time I watch it I cry so much because my mam died 14 years ago and it brings back so many happy memories of us sitting watching it, I miss her so much.😢
I love my mom too. I'm sorry
Her acting in this movie really broke my heart. RIP Natalie Wood.
This is a master class of orchestration. Listen past the lyrical and hear the truest art.
Such a great scene. Simple camera work, colored lights on a wall and door in the background, and yet so dramatic.
This song is like the intersection that connects Leonard Bernstein-Sondheim to Beethoven (the melody of the first line at the start of the verse is from Beethoven ‘Piano Concerto No. 5 2nd movement’ - ‘Emperor’) and then on to the future, a lyrical
connection to Lennon-McCartney and The Beatles - ‘There’s A Place’
I wish this masterpiece would move to the opera houses like Porgy and Bess did. This is a triumph of composition.
The Lyric here in Chicago is doing it this year.
When I first saw this movie as a child in the 70s.....I was hooked...I was mesmerized from beg to end..
It's so timeless.....Theres great actors no matter what era.......but you can't deny the old hollywood actors....
I find them mesmerizing....it was classy and decent....it wasn't about nudity and stupidity....it was drama...
The most beautiful representation of romance I’ve ever experienced, the musical and film adaptation is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. Romance is the highest thing there is, I watch this film to remember what’s really important in life
LOVE *Your* Reply --- And this song, Performed by Barbra Streisand in the 1970's, was my wife's High School Graduation Song for the Class of 1976 in Cleveland, OH. Barbra did that song SO WELL that I could listen to it/Loop It for long increments until I fall asleep. One of Streisand's best songs ever, did she win accolades for her work or for any of her performances on this title??
There are smart people and historians out here who can answer those questions. WHERE was the best performance you *EVER* saw of this song, done by Barbra Streisand ... or anyone else? Or by which male/female duo?? I really want to know!. It is for the best friend that I have in the *world* (and I mean that!) RIGHT NOW. Your replies will be the BEST Christmas present I could ever give him. He is head-over-heels in Love with Maria ... and I have never seen him so happy in the entire time that I have known him.
This song brings tears to my eyes -- tears of happiness and joy. Help me spread JOY this Christmas -- and spread this special gift.
*Lyrics*
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!
Seeing this song performed live when the national tour came to my city was incredible as I never knew this song was accompanied by a beautiful dream ballet where Tony and Maria are imagining all of their Jet and Shark friends visiting them and getting along with one another and simply having a good time with Anybodys, arguably one of the most ostracized characters of the show, singing how there's a place for "us". It's so poignant for Tony and Maria but even more so for Anybodys since she's not really accepted by anyone. I understand why the movie cut all of that out since it probably would have been way too much for the film and stopped the heavy tension that the film built up, but it was beautiful to see it live.
I didn't know there was a sequence where the two protagonists are together! I love 'dream ballets'. It lets the creative people 'do their thing'.
This song be hitting me different during Corona
Trueee I barely watched it yesterday and I was tearing ik im a guy and stuff but these movies hit I love the movie
SHADOWx619 you‘re so right
Song's hitting me different after Supernatural finale
Me too
This is one of best songs. I love the love they have for each other. Natalie Wood is my favorite actress. Richard Beymer. Outstanding.
Simply breathtaking. One greatest movie/musicals in history!!!
so true
2024......73 years young....some tears, for the world from now....other tears from then....when i heared this song❤ for the first time, 62 years ago....😢
I went to see this with my grandmother as a young boy, i think that experience began my love of opera, musical film and theatre.
when I watch this video I start cry
MR.Tollo You have company. Its loving our wonderful world, and banishing its evil.
Me too
The blue and red lights behind them symbolize the collision of the two gangs. And the shadows from the bed frame look like cell bars.
Such a beautiful song and yet so sad if not tragic.
This is one of ten most memorable and poignant movies of all times. Once upon a time in America, Casablanca, Fiddle on the roof, The sting... you name them... Here we have Geniuses of music, dance, choreography, lyrics, directorial job that had been sent from above at the same time in the same place. Marvel...
I was born in 52 and I remember this movie well. Love the song
Rest In Peace, Stephen Sondheim… 😔
So beautiful. That place is coming.
My girl Ellen Fisher loved this song and movie so much! Its one of the reasons we got together and stayed together for 11 years. R.I.P. Babesy! I'll always love you!
I watched 'West Side Story' with my mom every time it was on TV when I was a nipper. A favourite of ours. 'I Feel Pretty', 'Somewhere' and 'Gee Officer Krupke!' are stone cold classics which I still love to this day.
I like Spielberg. I trust Spielberg. I just don't know if I'm looking forward to his remake.
Spielberg’s version is better.
Also, everyone always says the original stage version is better than the movie, but the movie actually improved many aspects and remains the standard of most productions after it. For example, this song was a “dream ballet” sequence sung by a child while a fantasy life of Maria and Tony played out. While a somewhat interesting thing to explore, the raw emotion of Tony and Maria recognizing how terrible everything around them is and singing this to each other as a commitment to their love makes much more sense.
“America”, one of the greatest filmed sequences in this movie, if not in all of film history, had Anita arguing with a nameless Puerto Rican girl rather than Bernardo. Bernardo’s holding on to Puerto Rico as Anita wants to embrace America’s modernity is a great dynamic in their relationship and the boys vs girls choreography is just phenomenal. So yeah, this movie hits it out of the park in so many ways.
Well said
So well written and summarized. You have a real talent with words as powerful paint brushes. Thank you for your work. Keep up the descriptive artistry in all that you review. I appreciate from a distance in awe! Thanks.
This is my first "Somewhere" I hear and saw. Wonderful...
This song and these performances still resonate so deeply.
Where I ever here this song on TV or radio It always bring me in tears. I don't know why? I love listening to it.
How can actors in a stage production of this play sing this song without bursting into tears? True pros
Somewhere is a duet ,despite that fact many artists sing it as a solo song ......and in doing so miss the sad gist of this great song
Thank god this song exists to remind me what a minor 7th sounds like.
And Maria for a Tri tone!
When I saw this as a child, at the end,I was inconsolable. If you have any time with the one you love, you are blessed
Yes
This one moving heartfelt picture, when I see it, I cry every time. Sounds silly maybe to some but I would play this on my harmonica to my little Puppy Billy. He was a tiny black and white Pomeranian.
It was our song. He knew it. He was smarter than a whip. Then he got a failing heart. I had to let him go. I just saw my harmonica today which I have not seen since he went to sleep.
The tears fell and here I am sharing this with all of you. I had to hear this song. I guess it’s part of healing.
But I ask myself. Do we really heal. Do we get use to the feeling of loosing people, animals, and just move on. Well I have, but when it hurts it cuts like a knife.
Is it a time thing going on? I doubt it.
I cannot imagine what it is like to loose a child. Love is so important to me and everyone I love has passed on ahead of me. All the unconditional love I knew is gone. Life is so hard but I have learnt that anything worth while never comes easy.
God Bless you all.
I'm a guy. I understand what you feel.
West SIDE story marvellouse movie with the lovely Natalie Woody Somewhere make me cry a lot
Beautiful but heartbreaking song :-((
Как современен и гениален этот фильм , музыка, песни и танцы , как будто это было день назад. Это магия 60-х годов, лучшие годы Человечества после страшной войны , когда люди понимали ценность Жизни и Любви. Восхитительный фильм и музыка которые не возможно повторить. Я рожденный в 1962, пронес любовь к этому фильму и музыке через всю жизнь. How modern and ingenious this film is, music, songs and dances, as if it were a day ago. This is the magic of the 60s, the best years of Mankind after the terrible war, when people understood the value of Life and Love. Amazing film and music that is not possible to repeat. Born in 1962, I carried the love of this film and music all my life.
THIS SONG IS SAD AS HELL
The love between two attractive people attracted to each other is a powerful thing fo shur.
I'll never get over this, this is amazing.
RIP Stephen Sondheim 😢
rest in peace sir
(Crying) I still miss you..Natalie.
Dit is zo'n geweldig mooi lied, vol hoop, vol perspectief, vol vertrouwen en vol van genade!
i learned this music when i was younger,but i cry more now.
I think the reason this version makes more sense than the 2021 remake's version with Rita Moreno is that Maria and Tony are actually singing about going somewhere else. The lyrics are literal. For Moreno, they became metaphorical, and included everyone, Anita, Maria and Tony, herself, Puerto Ricans, and minorities in general. That completely changed the tone and theme of the final scene AND the movie as a whole. This version, on the other hand, is a response to the plot's tension between love and hate. Tony and Maria want to get away from the fighting, knowing they can't be together unless they leave. When Maria reprises the song in the final scene, the song answers itself: Maria and Tony can only be together in death. And think about it. Leaving wouldn't have stopped the fighting, it only would have distanced the obstacles keeping Tony and Maria apart. Only when the loss was too great did the two gangs finally work together, which is shown (not in the 2021 version) when they carry Tony's body down the street.
The Broadway show, though it didn't have Maria and Tony singing this song, did have them dance to it while someone else sang off stage. To me, that still fulfills the original theme. Perhaps it makes their wish to go somewhere else less tangible, more fanciful given the circumstances of the plot, but it certainly doesn't make the song metaphorical like the 2021 version does. Because the overarching theme and message is that love overcomes hate, the 2021 finale is so much less impactful, and makes the movie be not about Tony and Maria representing a truth that the gangs should have known before causing so much death, and more about an injustice that won't ever be solved that is bigger than the film itself. If this wasn’t a remake of an already great film and established Broadway show (that no one felt needed to be remade, btw), then that would be fine. But they reinvented it for "relevance," and instead of improving it, the movie suffered and only highlighted why the original should have been left alone.
Yep. Spielberg’s team made it political.
Spielbergs WSS can't even come close to the original 1961 version in any respect.
The acting is so beautiful, they are so madly in love, they way they hold each other is so tender and real and it brings tears to my eyes.
And the actors hated each other😂
I really don't care how people love the new version. This one is for me it is the definitive one. This song alone. The difference between the new version and the original one is simply Natalie Wood.
I have a huge crush on Tony I love him
Great movie, a classic! Such a sad movie though: with Tony and Maria, loving one another, but knowing, they would never be accepted.
Cried So hard, when Tony gets killed( OMG) after all these years, it still touched me
Greatest Musical Ever!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The best American movie scene in history
The 1961 version of WSS in my opinion was the best movie ever made.
Simply beautiful.
STILL makes me cry

0:16 Did anyone else see that Tony smelt Maria's hair???
Rita Moreno, 90, will be singing this powerful song in the new West Side Story coming out in the movie theaters this coming December 10, 2021. SOMEWHERE
Moreno had a huge chip on her shoulder about Natalie Wood and trash mouthed her constantly. I guess this is her final victory.
@@BLTKellys source?
@@vic2958 I think it was the brown face. In interviews for the new film she says stuff about feeling betrayed or upset but I never heard her say anything directly at Wood. I'm sure I can draw a conclusion though from her comments
you are all right about this scene and song, very sad, I'm going to put in DVD of this film, I will be crying soon ! love from chicago.
It never doesn’t make me cry😢❤️👏👏👏
Leonard Bernstein music, don't forget please
far and away the greatest song to have come from Westside Story
I almost cried hearing them sing
This is the song that adds enormous depth to their love story. It is THEIR song. I adore Rita Moreno, but Spielberg made a huge mistake moving this song away from Tony and Maria. The point of the song is that these two are the only ones who want peace ... this is what makes them different from everyone else in the gangs ... this is exactly why they fall in love.
Movies make me happy and smile because they are fun to watch
damn. i can't not cry. maria gets me everytime.
I went to see this 3 times when it came out still cry at the end
Interesting how Spielberg changed this , almost anti- climatic??
Yeah I really would have loved to hear Rachel sing this tune. But giving it to Valentina was also really moving.
I was VERY disappointed by the change. Honestly my biggest disappointment from the new version is this. I liked that she was the PR wife to an American store owner but having her sing a song that gives hope to more than 1 person sung by and for only 1 person missed the mark for me. I feel using her for a song was better suited in the "America" dance routine where the kids are dancing and maybe giving her the line "I know you do" since that was one ov her songs from the original
I love West Side Story, the music is amazing...😢😢😊😊❤❤
Oh wow I love these kinds of musical movies like this one and the sound of music and etc
Today Commemorates Natalie Wood's 80th Birthday
Wasn't she awesome?
Wonder what she would have looked like at 80. I think she would still be very beautiful:)
Thanks
The ending of the movie is very very sad, and a warning to all kids on the streets of all times. Think before you act.

They just wanted to love and be together amidst being from two different worlds. This is based on the Westside of NYC where Puerto Ricans migrated to build a better life in America and the lower class white people that were born there. I think Sondheim was a musical genius of lyrics and Bernstein which was a Classical composer, arranger and conductor. He had a program in the 60's that I watched called Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic featuring classical composers for young people. He is one of the most important conductors of the 20th Century. Absolutely a beautiful piece of work.
This is my favorite song from West Side Story.
