What 1961 musical film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet features the song "Tonight"?

The 1961 musical film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet featuring the song “Tonight” was West Side Story.

Directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, the film adapts the 1957 Broadway musical created by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Arthur Laurents, and Robbins. Shakespeare’s feuding families become rival teenage street gangs: the white Jets and Puerto Rican Sharks in New York City’s Upper West Side.

“Tonight” is performed by Tony and Maria, the story’s counterparts to Romeo and Juliet. The film also features “America,” “Somewhere,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “Gee, Officer Krupke.” The movie rearranged the placement of several songs from the stage version, including moving “Tonight” later in the film.

West Side Story won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and became the highest-grossing film of 1961 in the United States. One frequent mix-up is treating it as a direct adaptation of Shakespeare’s play; more precisely, it is a film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which was itself inspired by Romeo and Juliet.
