I'm sorry I don't have much of an opinion of the DVD itself, because I have not had time to view it. I just trust that it is ok. I kept renting one to show to my 9th grade English class while reading the drama and finally bought this one. The shipping was quick, the ordering was easy. Thanks for selling it!DVD Review: Wow!! Very Fast Delivery!!!

When I was fourteen I LOVED this movie. I had the sound recording but had not seen the movie in decades. I was glad I didDVD Review: Great teaching tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I choose this version of Romeo and Juliet to use when introducing reluctant freshmen to Shakespeare. It is "old" enough that the cinematography and scenery does not distract from the play itself. I do not use the film in its entirety as there are many inconsistencies with the original play, but my students enjoy the pieces they do see.
Description of Romeo & Juliet
Shakespeare's classic play of tragic love between members of opposing families.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG
Release Date: 12-DEC-2003
Media Type: DVD
Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was unique in its day for casting kids in the play's pivotal roles of, well, kids. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play the titular pair, the Bard's star-crossed lovers who defy a running feud between their families in order to be together in love. Typically played on stage and in previous film productions by adult actors, the innocent look and rawness of Whiting and Hussey resonated at the time with a burgeoning youth movement from San Francisco to Prague. The tragic romance at the center of the story also clicked with anti-authority sentiments, but even without that, Zeffirelli scores points by validating the ideals and passions of strong-willed adolescents. Less successful are scenes requiring the actors to have a fuller grasp of the text, though the best thing going remains the unambiguous duel between Romeo and Tybalt (Michael York). Lavishly photographed by Pasquale de Santis on location in Italy, this Romeo and Juliet brought a different tone and dimension to a story that had become tiresome in reverential presentations. --Tom Keogh
