Who can forget *Dino, Desi and Billy* and their 1965 hit "I'm a Fool?" If you do *Gary Lewis and the Playboys* next...well, I'm onto you!
Dietrich and Boyer lingered in the *Garden of _____* alternative pronunciation of Hitler?s political party, sometimes heard in early WWII films, esp. British a Guy Maddin film, *_____ Decade* + *What ___ Way to Go* starred Shirley and a lot of gorgeous guys

But you aren't talking about a film titled *Romeo and Juliet* are you? You're referring to *West Side Story* with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim...
...and the game is to connect Bernstein to another film through an actor or other...
OK -
What Sinatra film did Bernstein work on but was not credited for?
And as for Sondheim, what story did he write with Anthony Perkins that became a film directed by Herbert Ross?

Indeed, I am Florence Bates!
(What an amazing life - first female attorney in the state of Texas at 26, hosted a radio show, ran an antiques business, married an oil baron who then lost everything, opened a bakery in LA and got a part at the Pasadena Playhouse, met Hitchcock and made a splash in *Rebecca* as the odious Mrs. Van Hopper - her film career was launched...and she has a great-granddaughter in the biz, actress/comedienne Rachel Hamilton.)

My personal preference is Vivien Leigh - and I also think she was the better actress. As noted, all a matter of opinion. There's another thread here dedicated to the gorgeous Hedy Lamarr and a while ago the similarities between her looks and Leigh's were a hot subject, with photos posted proving the point.

Looks like MilesArcher answered my riddle. I believe the answer to his is *A Little Night Music* in which Elizabeth Taylor starred.
So now do we move on from Bernstein and Sondheim??
