Day 14 - Romeo and Juliet

I remember seeing this movie in the 70s... I was maybe 13 or so and I cried until I could barely breathe. While it is more tragedy than romance, I always loved the scene in the photo.



Oh and the actors are Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. They were only 16 and 17 when they filmed the movie and there was much ado over their nude scene, the wedding night scene.

I just adore that movie! It was so lovely to see R&J played by people who were the proper age for a change!

It also started my fascination with period costumes that has never waned. :)
