FILM
BY FRANCO ZEFFIRELLI (1968). It was very successful because it had more action, humour and sensuality than in the previous ones. It won Oscars for the scenary. In the film the Friar never says about the secret marriage.
BY BAZ LUHRMANN (1996). It is unconventional because it is set in contemporary Verona Beach, in California with 2 rival gangs. The characters sometimes use rhyme while talking in formal contests. There are guns and the 2 lovers meet before dying. Their families never make up as in the original story.
