This early adaptation by George Cukor retains the play&#8217;s authentic language (albeit truncated), and simulates something akin to the original setting. The result is a lavishly produced historical romance with notoriously poor casting in the lead roles: Howard (43) and Shearer (34) are simply far too old to play smitten teen lovers, and all that ensues in the story-line suffers for this unassailable discrepancy. With that said, Howard and Shearer&#8217;s actual performances are quite lovely &#8212; they do the best they can &#8212; and the film is visually sumptuous on every level, with atmospheric cinematography and beautiful sets. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine performances by Shearer and Howard<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-1024x622.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"389\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-48755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-1024x622.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-128x78.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-768x467.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love-1536x933.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Love.png 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography and sets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-48754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sets2.png 1647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-1024x645.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"403\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-48753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-1024x645.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-128x81.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight-1536x967.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Sword-Fight.png 1619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-1024x626.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"391\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-48752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-128x78.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9-1536x939.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Romeo-and-Juliet-Cinematography9.png 1647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s a decent if flawed adaptation and worth a look by Shakespeare fans.
