When Hamlet winds up for "to be, or not to be," the entire audience is there ahead of him, waiting for those lines, watching them come down the track. There are some lines in Shakespeare too famous for their own good. Often enough, one cannot even remember what was said at moments of great emotion the words are outpourings of the soul.Īnd that is the effect Zeffirelli achieves in two almost impossible scenes: the balcony scene and the double suicide in the tomb. They do not, as anyone who has proposed marriage will agree. Always before, we have had actors in their 20s or 30s or even older, reciting Shakespeare's speeches to each other as if it were the words that mattered. To begin with, Zeffirelli's film is the first production of "Romeo and Juliet" I am familiar with in which the romance is taken seriously. It is a deeply moving piece of entertainment, and that is possibly what Shakespeare would have preferred.

Nor is it greater cinema than Welles' " Falstaff." But it is greater Shakespeare than either because it has the passion, the sweat, the violence, the poetry, the love and the tragedy in the most immediate terms I can imagine. Not because it is greater drama than Olivier's " Henry V," because it is not.
