...Leonard Whiting, just 17, as Romeo and Olivia Hussey, a mere14 as Juliet. This makes them more or less the actual ages of Shakespeare's characters. I thought that both Whiting and Hussey were superb actors (even at their young ages) and they play well off each other. These roles were debut ones for both young actors. Having two young, attractive actors playing the lead parts did attract a lot of younger audiences. I was a teenager at this time and ... ...Apocethary scene explains just where Romeo got his poison and the fight with Paris explains the Prince's "brace of at your discord", these were both omitted from the film. Despite the missing parts of the play, Zefferelli uses the rest of the script so well and creates a story full of pathos. The sets, the costumes, and the cinematography are bright and colourful, and not only the young lovers, but all the cast exuded youth. This cast of the film ...

Advantages: Enjoyable, The actors did such a brilliant job that you could watch it over and over. Disadvantages: The camera Techniques are quite old and the special effects are just ok.
I first watched the 1996 Romeo and Juliet Before this and thought the 1996 one was quite good but I got curious after reading many reviews on the Old Romeo and Juliet and decided I wanted to watch it, so i bought it and watched it and for the first time I realised how the 1996 Romeo and Juliet wasnt as good as i thought it was, as the old one had so much more emotion in and It was so much easier to understand and all the actors and actress did a ... ...Perfect for the Young tragic couple and I found it amazing, the storyline was Brilliant and Quite Believable, In some places it got a bit silly but it made the whole film quite interesting, the Old camera techniques weren`t as good then as you can laugh at some of the techniques they used. But over all this movie was really amazing, unlike the 1996 version, I cried watching them die. I would recommend this movie to all my friends and family. 5/5 ...
