Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Current hot box-office star, Australia's latest export Hugh Jackman takes a break from being Logan/Wolverine in X-Men and X-Men II (due out next year) to introduce two of his favourite films. And given that early in his career, he twice played Curly from Oklahoma! on screen, little wonder his first choice is Jerome Robbins and (after he'd be relieved of duties) Robert Wise's classic Oscar-laden musical take on Romeo and Juliet, with Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer as the star crossed lovers. With Russ Tamblyn, Rita No and George Chakiris.
