Rating: 5.0
Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet
Perfect story (Shakespeare), perfect directing (Zeffirelli), beautiful actors (Hussey,Whiting)..a near perfect film.Interestingly not exactly tied to the play (Romeo does not kill Paris in the film as he does in the play). Zeffirelli had Hussey in mind all along for Juliet but Whiting had to beat out 300 other actors to get his part.
