I was so hesitant because I know the original movie by heart it will always be my favorite....but wow did Steven Spielberg do a brilliant job with the newest version....I was memorized from beginning to the ugly crying at the end. Thunderous applause to actors, the acting, singing....biggest treat was Rita Moreno. Loved the relationship between her and Tony...then she sang the song....ahhh, that's when the tears started flowing....this is a movie that I will purchase and watch over and over again!!!
