What was the Original name of movie West Side Story?
The name for the movie was always West Side Story. The original title for the stage version when it was first conceived (in the 40's not long after WWII) was East Side Story. The story line was to follow a Jewish girl and a Catholic boy around Easter/Passover. By the time the collaborators got around to actually writing the show though, that story line was no longer as relevant as when they had originally conceived it. After reading an article in the news paper about the prevalence of gang violence and the increase of the Puerto Rican population the collaborators decided to change it to what it is now (more or less), including the title to West Side Story.
