Romeo and Juliet (1968)
1 question
Directed by: Franco Zeffirelli
Starring: Michael York, Olivia Hussey, John McEnery, Leonard Whiting
Revealing mistake: When you see the first shot of the dead Mercutio, he's still breathing.
Trivia: Because of the brief nudity, Olivia Hussey (Juliet) wasn't allowed in the theater during the movie's release because she was too young at the time.
Answer: Olivia Hussey was born April 17, 1951 so she was probably still 16 when the film was being made, but 17 when it was released in 1968. Leonard Whiting was born June 30, 1950 - almost a year older than Olivia.
