Bert MichaelsSnowboy ((performer: "Jet Song", "Gee, Officer Krupke!"))The original stage version of Maria's song "I Feel Pretty" included the lyrics "I feel pretty and witty and bright / And I pity / Any girl who isn't me tonight." In the film this night scene was changed to the daytime, and presumably for this reason, the rhyming words "bright" and "tonight" were changed to "gay" and "today."
Ice:
[singing] Play it cool boy, real cool.
Continuity: Maria's necklace jumps about between shots as she leans over Tony's body.
Composed by Leonard Bernstein
With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
