Os dez Oscars de "Amor, Sublime amor" (West Side Story), a história do amor proibido entre a porto-riquenha Maria (Natalie Wood) e o americano Tony (Richard Beymer).
Dentre as maravilhosas músicas deste clássico, registre-se a guerra entre homens e mulheres do grupo porto-riquenho. As mulheres, defendendo o "american way of life" e os homens criticando a discriminação na terra do Tio Sam. A dança é memorável. O dançarino principal é George Chakiris (Oscar de melhor ator coadjuvante) e a dançarina é Rita Moreno (Oscar de melhor atriz coadjuvante).

Puerto Rico . . .
My heart`s devotion
Let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the sunlight streaming,
And the natives steaming.
I like the island Manhattan.
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
