Romeo and Juliet

Admittedly well overage for the title roles as Shakespeare's doomed teenaged lovers, Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer offered nonetheless convincing performances, in this lushly--and faithfully--rendered filming of the famed tragedy. George Cukor directs an able supporting cast that includes John Barrymore, Basil Rathbone, Edna May Oliver, C. Aubrey Smith, Reginald Denny, and Andy Devine; Irving Thalberg’s last completed production for M-G-M. 119 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
