Brooklyn Navy Yard Scavenger Hunt

West Side Story

Director Steven Spielberg used locations in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Sunset Park to stand in for the mean streets of the Upper West Side in the 1950s when he updated the Leonard Bernstein-scored musical West Side Story (2021). Much of the film was shot on sound stages in Steiner Studios, and Building 269 stood in for a Sanitation Department salt shed, where the Sharks and Jets have their fatal confrontation.

Question: What other Leonard Bernstein musical, released as a film in 1949, was partially set in and filmed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard?
