Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As other people have observed about other videos in this collection, this isn't high quality in terms of the video tape. But the performance itself, which is basically a tape of play is a sound version of Romeo and Juliet. This time, they set it in more modern times, ladies are in evening dresses for example, but the dialogue is unchanged really. There are some good and not so good performances. The leading man does a good job as Romeo, though I prefered his dramatic scenes to his romantic ones. I felt the leading lady was very finicky in the role and very dramatic, perhaps too dramatic. She didn't seem to me like a teenager. Otherwise, Juliet's father and Romeo's best friend Mercutio I believe are both splendid. If you are just interested in viewing different Romeo and Juliet videos, this is fine, but the other versions, the 1960's version, the 1930's version and even the newer version are just as good or better in other ways. I've watched them all, and this version does hold up to the others, more or less
