Romeo and Juliet (1968) Movie Review
Cast & Crew
Director : Franco Zeffirelli
Producer : John Brabourne, Anthony Havelock-Allan,
Screenwriter : Franco Brusati, Maestro D'Amico, Franco Zeffirelli,
Starring : Leonard Whiting, Olivia Hussey, John McEnery, Milo O'Shea, Pat Heywood, Robert Stephens, Michael York,
Franco Zeffirelli's rendition of Shakespeare's classic tragic love story gets off to a slow and rocky start but eventually takes hold once its titular leads take over. The introduction of musical numbers isn't bad, though it severely dates this production to the '60s, however faithful it otherwise is as a period piece. Olivia Hussey's Juliet is the show stealer and would go on to modest success as an actress; Leonard Whiting (as Romeo), however, would quickly fade into obscurity in the following years. Winner of two Oscars and a Best Picture nominee.
