West Side Story: 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray in November

I’ll always think of Robert Wise as the guy who made sci-fi classics like The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Andromeda Strain and the first, and most ponderously slow, Star Trek film. Most others remember the late director for his hit musicals The Sound of Music and West Side Story. Fox gave us their near-perfect, five-star Blu-ray edition of the former last year and this year, they and MGM will bring us a 50th Anniversary Edition of the latter. Both a 2-disc Blu-ray and a 4-disc (the same 2 Blus, a DVD edition of the film and a tribute CD, boxed with memorabila and goo gahs) West Side Story Limited Edition Gift set will hit store shelves on November 15th. Expect a lot of excited finger snapping and popping to ensue from overjoyed badass Blu-ray-collecting gangs of musical theatre thugs.
