William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet may be one of the most-screened plays of all time.
 The most notable theatrical releases were George Cukor's multi-Oscar-nominated 1936 production "Romeo and Juliet", Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet", and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired "Romeo + Juliet".
 The latter two were both, at the time, the highest-grossing Shakespeare films.
 Cukor featured the mature actors Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard as the teenage lovers while Zeffirelli populated his film with beautiful young people, and Baz Luhrmann produced a heavily cut fast-paced version aimed at teenage audiences.
Jesus of Nazareth (Italian: "Gesù di Nazareth" ) is a 1977 British-Italian television miniseries directed by Franco Zeffirelli and co-written by Zeffirelli, Anthony Burgess, and Suso Cecchi d'Amico which dramatises the birth, life, ministry, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
 It stars Robert Powell as Jesus.
 His extraordinary acting was highly praised by critics.
