Wiki.
Romeo and Juliet (Italian: Giulietta e Romeo) is a 1954 film adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy of the same name. It is directed and written for the screen by Renato Castellani, and stars Laurence Harvey as Romeo and newcomer Susan Shentall as Juliet, with Flora Robson, Mervyn Johns, Bill Travers, Sebastian Cabot, Enzo Fiermonte and John Gielgud. A British and Italian co-production, it was released in the United Kingdom by General Film Distributors on September 1, 1954.
The film won the Golden Lion at 15th Venice International Film Festival, and was nominated for three BAFTA Awards, including Best Film and Outstanding British Film. The American National Board of Review named it Best Foreign Film and Castellani the Best Director of 1954. Despite the critical acclaim, the film was a commercial disappointment.
