Intro to Zeffirelli
Strega2 has given an excellent and accurate review. Most of us got to know Maestro Zeffirelli through this film. Later we got to know his opera work through Live from the Met (and their subsequent videos).My wife and I relived his Romeo recently with this DVD. The transfer and print are top quality. We watched it 16:9 on a new widescreen TV. It was beautiful. Actually it looked better than it did in the small "arts" theater in which we saw it in 1967. The next evening, just for fun, we watched Tea with Mussolini (the rest of the story on Zeffirelli).His canon of films is short, but when he is good -- he's as good as it get!
