ROMEO AND JULIET (1936) 291 The production was notable for the historical accuracy of its settings and costumes, for Thalberg had sent research men to Italy to verify every detail of architecture and clothing. Shown here is the square in Verona where Mercutio and Tybalt are killed. BELOW In Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Gary Cooper, relieved of the necessity of playing the strong, silent man, went to town on his own hook and revealed himself as an engaging and talented comedian. Frank Capra directed the picture brilliantly from a script by Robert Riskin. This picture contributed the word "pixilated" to the language; and here is Mr. Deeds talking to the two old ladies who invented it.
