Although I truly enjoyed seeing the opening shots of New York City in the nineteen fifties; I couldn't understand why it was necessary to remake this classic film.
When I read that Tony Kushner was the writer, I had very high hopes that he would adapt the source material to modern times like the original creative team did back in 1957.
Unfortunately, it was just a rehash of the original movie with a couple of changes that had no effect whatsoever on the story. There was nothing new or interesting about it.
Not worthy of William Shakespeare or Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins and Peter Gennaro!
