The SS United States has a cameo appearance in the classic movie West Side Story

In 1961 when that movie was released, the SS United States was THE premier way to travel to Europe and back. Anyone watching that movie today will likely miss that detail, but yet it's part of Americana like many smaller items at the Smithsonian in D.C. It's a national treasure which should be preserved in some way.
