1 question
Directed by: Franco Zeffirelli
Starring: Michael York, Olivia Hussey, John McEnery, Leonard Whiting
Revealing mistake: There is a high rise, modern building in the background during the opening fight.
Trivia: Director Franco Zefferelli had to get special permission to show Olivia Hussey, a teenager at the time, topless in one scene.
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.
