Romeo And Juliet is a good film. mostly sticks to script although there are some changes. recommend to everyone - especially shakespeare lovers and anyone who wants to watch a very emotionally poignant film. Loved it all! Only bad point was wasn't entirely to script - juliet wakes up after romeo dies but not in the film, and there's no fight between romeo and paris - what's that about?!?!

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic but beautiful and very moving love story by Shakespeare staring Olivia Hussey in a tale of two star-crossed lovers.

This is definitely one of Zefirelli's masterpieces and his decision to use a young cast paid off, a classic film and shouldn't be missed.
