Extras: Theatrical Trailer

Synopsis: No introduction is really required of this 1968 classic version of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This tale of two young lovers from feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, is as relevant today as when it was written. Zeffirelli’s extraordinary vision in bringing to life this film is as fresh today as it was then. The only thing that may date this film is looking at such actors as Michael York and thinking how young they were.

Final Comments: This film is a must for all lovers of Shakespeare, and to those how adore 1960’s classic cinema. I give this 4.5 out of 5.
