I MET RICHARD IN 1958, BEFORE HE DID TONY, IN WEST SIDE STORY.& HAVING SEEN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION ON BROADWAY, (& I APPEARED IN THE SAN FRANCISCO OPERA RING PRODUCTION IN 1961 & 62, ALONGSIDE MORGAN FREEMAN),.&. I THINK HE WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR TONYI ONLY WISH THAT MORE OF THE FILM COULD HAVE BEEN SHOT ON THE STREETS OF NYC, INSTEAD OF ON A SOUND STAGEESPECIALLY "SOMETHINGS COMIN", WHICH INTRODUCES TONY TO THE AUDIENCE..I THINK THE SET WAS TOO SMALL & TOO TIGHT.BUT ALL IN ALL, RICHARD DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD, GIVEN THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SOUND STAGEJACK ENGLISH..ACTOR/SINGER/FILM&TV PRODUCTION..HOLLYWOOD, CALIF..JE.
