Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I was in the mood to watch musicals so I watched The Sound of Music and West Side Story back to back. Say what you will about the corniness of both (I can't help but chuckle at the dancing scenes at the beginning of WSS), but they are both solid films. There is some really cool cinematography in both. And there are some wonderful performances in both (Andrews and Moreno specifically). And "America" is still one of my very favorite musical numbers on film. The use of full shots were brilliant.
