I wish more end credits were like this.
the end of “West Side Story” was too unhappy and dark – I always wanna cry when I see it…R.I.P. Natalie Wood
Saul Bass should have gotten an academy award for his end credits. Even now 50 years after I first saw the film as a nine year old, the end credits instrumental conjures up the whole film for me. I can’t wait to see the remastered film at Chicago’s Symphony Center later this year…
this has been my favorite musical since i was three, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. the credits make me want to cry every time.
@loveaodai100 I couldn`t have said it any better. One of the few films, even after many viewings can leave me in a state of physical and emotional peace.
great contemporary musical of “Romeo & Juliet”
i grew up with this movie! Saw it for the first time when i was 4 and i just loved the music
and the second time when i was 7 years old and i cryd like a baby when tony died and began to imagine how bewtiful love must be
As far as I’m concerned,Bass outdid himself with this—it’s like walking through some variation of a graveyard.
darn what a sad movie end…. sad credits tooo geeee :/
First time I watched the film I sat in my chair for 10 minutes unable to move after the ending credits were shown. The film was the work of genius from beginning to end. literally… to the END…
DAWWWWWWWWWWWw so teary
My favorite movie ever!!!
you’ll never see anything like this again lightning in a bottle.
it mentioned Bernstein and Sondheim twice each, but not once did it acknowledge the actual singers that were dubbed in.
Don’t know why you posted the credits but it sure saved my life when I was doing a WSS assignment.
Thanks for posting! A Musical Masterpiece!
Love the orchestral score and ending credits to this movie, in many ways, more than the actual movie. The last 30 seconds are especially heart wrenching to hear…
Loved this movie…. and what great ending credits with all the songs summed up in a single continuous piece! A great finish to a masterpiece…
