Romeo and Juliet Storyline
Shakespeare's classic tale of romance and tragedy. Two families of Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets, have been feuding with each other for years. Young Romeo Montague goes out with his friends to make trouble at a party the Capulets are hosting, but while there he spies the Capulet's daughter Juliet, and falls hopelessly in love with her. She returns his affections, but they both know that their families will never allow them to follow their hearts.

Romeo and Juliet goofs
- FAKE: In the chapel, when Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dead, she leans over him in mourning, though he is visibly breathing.
- CONT: In the crypt, at the end of the movie, Juliet's hands are in several different positions during Romeo's speech.
- CONT: In the bedroom, Juliet's arm is lying across her chest. In the next shot it's by her side.
- CONT: The Prince's speech during the funeral includes the line "I...too have lost a brace (i.e. a pair) of kinsmen." In this version, only one of the Prince's kinsmen (i.e. Mercutio) is killed. Count Paris, the Prince's cousin who is slain by Romeo in the play, is left very much alive in this version. This may indicate that the film was trimmed before release, and that the death of Paris was actually cut. The souvenir program given out when the film first played in theatres indicates that plans were originally made for Paris to be killed by Romeo, just as in the original play (there is a reference to "the graveyard where Romeo slays Paris").
- FAKE: When Romeo is talking to Tybalt's dead body, Tybalt is visibly breathing.
Romeo and Juliet trivia
- Although the soundtrack on the DVD is mono, the three soundtrack albums made from this film (one with score and dialogue excerpts, one with the entire film soundtrack, and one with only the music) were all released in stereo.
- 'Olivia Hussey' (qv) wasn't legally allowed to attend the London premier of the movie as it contained nudity and she was under 18.
- A rumor surrounding this film was that 'Olivia Hussey' (qv) was really 'Franco Zeffirelli' (qv)'s daughter. Not true, of course. Franco Zeffirelli initially turned Olivia Hussey down for the role of Juliet, thinking her overweight. The actress he did choose cut her hair just before filming, ruining the effect she had on Zeffirelli. Hussey came in for another reading but by this time had developed into a beautiful teenager. She got the part.
- 'Franco Zeffirelli' (qv) became concerned by 'Olivia Hussey' (qv)'s full figure during filming, and ordered that no more pasta would be served on the set.
- 'Laurence Olivier' (qv) agreed to play the uncredited role of the narrator because he was so impressed with Zeffirelli's work for the National Theatre of Great Britain, which Olivier was director of at the time.
