the song that defies time and eternity
Simplemente una obra de arte
Quite possibly the best film version of the play. Zeffirelli used the visual strengths of the two young stars who were so easy on the eye thus avoiding their weaknesses due to a lack of acting experience. Because they were 17 and 16 it worked and the film stunned audiences all over the world. He also chose a remarkably good supporting cast none of whom failed to deliver their parts. Yes, he cut the text a great deal and left out several important scenes; notably, Romeo killing Paris in Capulet's sepulcher and Romeo also buying the poison from the apothecary. Nina Rota's haunting soundtrack (by the way it did not win an Oscar) complimented the stunning cinematography and visual beauty of the film,
Olivia Hussey was soooooooooo beautiful.
Oh man! I walked down the aisle to this in 1970. Memories…..even my dress was Juliet style. Those big sleeves!!
This beautiful song, from years ago has always haunted me, and it still does in 2020
She looks like LISA SOBERANO from the Philippines
I guess I would rather pay money for a super hot woman than have an average looking woman for free.
Never saw the movie, but wrote my own script from a short story somehow inspired from this track- though I don't remember how.
Esse filme é o mais lindo de toda história romântico ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was Leonard’s stunt double, at the time. Both of us goofed off as he had fear of heights. One time Olivia got confused between us… poor Olivia, she had such anxiety after this was done. Anyways, glad this was appreciated by many.
My thumbs down was for the Bloomberg anti firearms ad!!
The love story Willy made it well known to everybody and Henry made a croking smashy melody out of it
Nunca mais vi nada nesse nível… único
A Time for Romeo and Juliet someday there'll be…
Самая красивая Джульетта в мире 😍🤗
Какой фильм,на все времена!Какие настоящие Ромео и Джульетта!Какая музыка! Дзеффирелли -талантище!
I was 3 when this film came out, I've seen it many times and bought the Movie ost 3 times during the course of my life.
It’s so interesting, in retrospect, that this song blocked “Bad Moon Rising” by CCR from the number #1 spot.
This song is beautiful, for the record. Henry did a wonderful job arranging this. 🙂
Amazing, beutiful, fascinating! Thank you very much!
))))

The sound of love
I so remember seeing this movie when I was thirteen. My brother had to explain to me about the two feuding families, so I could understand the situation! He later became a high school history teacher. I love this song so much ! Thanks for the beautiful memories. 🌸🌟
Rota + mancini 2 geni
I was seven when this movie came out had a big crush on Romeo (Lenord) love that song we played it over and over on our record player.
I was 15 when this movie came out & remembering sobbing at the end. Beautiful movie & music ❤️
