Synopsis

It may be more traditional than the famous modern version starring Leonardo DiCaprio, but this earlier adaption of Shakespeare's tale of star-crossed lovers was just as controversially received when it was released. Not only did it streamline the action by cutting half of the play's dialogue, but - for the first time - the two leads were played by actual teenagers. The story is as engrossing and as heart breaking as ever, and there are some terrific supporting performances.
