Romeo and Juliet

“No ordinary love story...”

Romeo (Leonard Whiting) is a Montague boy, young and lovesick, who sneaks into a Capulet feast and sees Juliet (Olivia Hussey) across the room. She is a Capulet, and the two families have been killing each other in the streets for years. Franco Zeffirelli cast actors close to the ages of the lovers, and Romeo, who has only just met her, is already ready to give up his name.
