Rating: 5.0
Wonderful film version of Romeo and Juliet
The 1968 movie version of Romeo and Juliet is great with its fine acting and realistic sets. Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey, who were teenagers when this film was made back in 1968, were perhaps the best actors to ever play the roles of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare could never have dreamed of how accurately a play could be represented without the limitations of the stage. Plus the soundtrack music is so moving and contributes much to the tragic atmosphere of the story. The CD with just the music from the soundtrack is available here at Amazon and is also well worth getting. It's a fine companion to a great film.
