Neither lead is a skilled actor, but the film's lush and unrepentant romanticism carries the day

The sets are tight and stagey, every corner is decorated with baroque lushness, every shot framed by a velvet curtain or silvery branch. And the dialogue isn't caged in by any attempts at naturalism.

... the excessive wailing of the ill-fated couple as they suffer all manner of ... set-backs made me want to turn them over my knee and 'give you something to cry about.'

For many, this remains the definitive big-screen Romeo And Juliet.

Wonderful, but a little too mature for some kids.

Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet is a lovely, sensitive, friendly popularization of the play...

Cheesy at best, but perfect school Shakespeare.

The success of the film depends upon Whiting and Miss Hussey...They are magnificent.

High-minded and lively, with heartbreakingly beautiful actors on show, and all shot in a kind of honeycomb-sunglow light.

Mostly it remains enjoyable for its color and visual flair.

Despite major trimmings of Shakespeare's text, this is a lovely version of the much-filmed play, largely due to the casting of the leads with handsome, unknown teenagers.
