The opening Prologue from the 10-time Academy Award winning musical film West Side Story
West Side Story 1961 The setting is the Upper West Side of New York City in the late 1950s. Like many other musicals of its time, Hollywood looked to a successful Broadway stage play for its source material. After her success in Spendor in the Grass, Natalie Wood was chosen for the lead female role, and Richard Beymer, known for his performance in The Diary of Anne Frank (1959), took the lead male role. Anita, was played by Rita Moreno. The ground-breaking, dynamic film featured racial strife between rival New York street gangs (Puerto Ricans and white European immigrant families), juvenile delinquency and inner-city problems of the mid-twentieth century - in exhilarating musical and dance form. Some of the film was shot on location in Manhattan, but most of it was actually filmed on sound stages with stylized, artificial studio sets. Its achievement as a ten Oscar winner has only been surpassed by two films, each with eleven Oscars: Ben-Hur (1959) and Titanic (1997).

Dallas – Prime Time Television Soap Opera
First Telecast on April 2, 1978
Dallas, the saga of the Ewing Family, began as a five-part mini-series in 1978. At this time no evening show caught the soap opera crowd's attention.
The ratings were fair, until the show moved to Friday nights.
The Ewing family lived at the sprawling South Fork ranch, in high end Braddock Country just outside Dallas. Like any good power family, there was the matriarch and patriarch, Jock and Miss Ellie and three sons. Their extensive romantic relations, and the Barnes clan of rival oilers were all that was needed to create a self-contained world of intrigue, dysfunction and passion.
Brothers Bobby and older brother J.R. didn't exactly play nice with each other. J.R. was nearly a hundred percent scoundrel, Bobby had streaks of honesty and integrity…but that patented Ewing viciousness certainly reared its head once in a while.
