Moreno acted steadily in films during the fifties, although she held no fondness for most of her film in this decade, as she felt her given roles were far too stereotypical, except for her supporting character in the 1956 musical film The King and I, in which she co-starred with Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. In 1961, she landed the role of Anita in the film adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical West Side Story.
