Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
Great for my students
Shakespeare is hard for any student to grasp- especially while reading it out of a textbook. These plays were meant to be seen and heard! This classic version of Romeo and Juliet is fairly accurate to the play, and aside from a little nudity after Romeo and Juliet consummate their marriage, perfectly appropriate for the classroom. I like to show clips of the Romeo and Juliet staring Leonardo and Claire for a little compare/contrast. For the most part, students prefer this more traditional portrayal.
