West Side Story, Part II: Capturing the Sounds of (Ghost) Singing and Dancing Sounding Cinema

    • Filmes históricos

Many of the songs in West Side Story feature the dubbed voices of uncredited ghost singers. We illuminate how West Side Story's use of "ghosts" differs from other musicals of the era and alters the screen-sound relationship. We also turn our ears toward the people responsible for giving WSS's dance sequences their distinctive sonic textures.
