4.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate for very young viewers, October 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Romeo and Juliet [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have nieces age 9 and 5. We watched this movie on the telly and they both LOVED it and want it on video. While I am a Shakespeare fan and was delighted with their enthusiasm and understanding of the plot, I would not have wished them to see the 1968 version with Olivia Hussey, due to the nudity. This is an excellent introduction to the Bard for the kids. Mr. Howard keeps both feet on the floor, as it were.

This review is from: Romeo and Juliet [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Laurence Harvey is oddly perfect as Romeo, that girl ought to
be edited out of the movie. The scenery is wonderful. It's very
elegant and exquisite to watch.
