Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
Best Version of the Classic - Highly Recommended!
The Franco Zeffirelli production of "Romeo and Juliet" is by far my all time favorite version of the classic play. Staring Olivia Hussey as Juliet, this movie really captures the feel of the period and brings the story to life. The sets and costumes were simply perfect and the feast scene with the dancing and moving song is perhaps the most powerful movie memory I have from my teen years. The emotion of the movie comes through.We watched this with our teen daughter who wanted to try out for her senior class play. She read along and practiced the lines to get the emotions correct.This is a fantastic story, brought to life in a stunning movie.Highly Recommended!CFH
