West Side Story

Spielberg directed the 2021 film adaptation of the iconic musical from Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim and explained that it was the realisation of a childhood dream to have done so.

He said: "I was ten years old when I first listened to the 'West Side Story' album, and it never went away.

"I've been able to fulfil that dream and keep that promise that I made to myself, 'You must make 'West Side Story'.

"It's just that love bridges every divide. It's timeless in the sense that we [should] be reminded of that story as often as possible."
