“DAZZLIN G! The most satisfactory film I’ve seen this year! Once you see it, you'll never again picture ‘Romeo & Juliet’ quite the way you did before. No literate man of 1968 should miss this film!’’ “STUNNING! This ‘Romeo & Juliet’ is visually stunning and the novelty of seeing Shakespeare’s star-crossed teenagers actually portrayed by actors in the proper age bracket lends an exciting dimension to the play!” SATURDAY REVIEW “BEAUTIFU L! The entire film is a poem of youth, love and violence, reeled off at so headstrong a pace that young audiences may take Shakespeare’s classic for a Renaissance recapitulation of ‘West Side Story.’ Beautiful, lyrical, impetuous and bAdicaaaass A. romantic played with pure 1968 passion!”’ PLAYBOY “BREATHTAKING! It was Franco Zeffirelli’s inten tion to create a ‘Romeo & Juliet’ for this generation of youth and he has succeeded brilliantly!’ MC CALL’S “REFRESHING! Director Zeffirelli’s vigorous film version of ‘Romeo & Juliet’ with two beautiful adolescents in the leading roles comes as a refreshing reward and gives the tragedy a new, updated poignancy in the light of the present generation gap!” HARPER’S BAZAAR “ARRESTING! Fifteen year old Olivia Hussey and 17 year old Leonard Whiting are such stuff as dreams are made on! Surely one of the most visually arresting films ever made!” CORONET f “PICTURE OF THE MONTH! superiy visualized film! The flashes of nudity in the course of the wedding-night sequence are handled with taste and reserve. It’s a film to cherish!” ‘ SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE cai | "SUCCESSFUL This beautiful film is a fabulous antidote to all the absurd Romeo and Juliets we have sat through on stage and film for ages past. Using very, very young stars who are both breathtakingly exuberant and beautiful and a lot of virile, rugged action, Zeffirelli has made a film that even manages to keep you in suspense!”’ COSMOPOLITAN PARAMOUNT PICTURES presents E FILM ABH FRANCO ZEFFIRELLI ROMEO & JULIET No ordinary love story.. in ae OLIVIA HUSSEY / EONAR WHITING / HILO O'SHEA / HICHAELYORK / JOHN McENERY/ PA HEVVOOO / NATASHA PARRY ROBERT STEPHENS / Ze / AANCO USAT and MASOONDO'ANGD/ ANTHONY HAVELOCK ALAN and HN RABOURNE |g i FRAN FRE Secs | NW 200 LINES.....400 LINES 2 COLS. x1 AYA inches... 28'2 inches meee PUTTTTOVHTTUUOTATLOOHTCUOOHIIUOHTTAUUGHITUOGTATUCOOHTIUCGLIIOUOTIUCOGIATIVUGHIICGQATILOUOAAIOOLGTAIIUONTOUULGNINUOUGIALUOLITILIOATITIOUIIULLUGHULULLELULELULLCOAULOLOGALELGLALUUOGHTEUULAOIULOGAULOGEAULOCOGALLOCOOLULOOAUUGLOOLUGOOE PU ALSO AVAILABLE a aaa “BEAUTIFUL!
