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.

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

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.

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

Cheesy at best, but perfect school Shakespeare.

... 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.'

Wonderful, but a little too mature for some kids.

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

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