Description: Director Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was touted at the time of its release (successfully, if the box-office receipts are any indication), as something of a "youth trip" movie. This is because Zeffirelli broke the long-standing tradition of casting over-aged, sometimes grey-haired players in the title roles. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting plays Romeo, with 15-year-old Olivia Hussey as Juliet.

“(OK) There's so much production value in costume, set, music, atrezzo... and Zefirelli moves the camera in the moment the plot is weighing...the 'Nana' and the priest makes the drama palatable...” read more

"17.2. 2019 Romeo Montague meets Juliet Capulet at a ball and it's love at first sight. However, their feuding families don't accept their relationship which leads to series of tragic events. Tybalt, a dumb and violent member of the Capulet family, kills Romeo's friend Mercutio which upsets Romeo. Romeo avenges Mercutio's death by killing Tybalt and after that Romeo is declared an outlaw. Everybody should be familiar with this story but how many people nowadays are actually familiar with it? No"
