lived through discrimination as well.

I love this movie...well more to the point I love the music. Had some great actors/dancers, Rita Moreno, Russ Tamblin and a few others.

I got to see the OG performance on Broadway during the strike back in 2008, it was amazing. I like Spielberg, but he's not a musical guy..
