Audrey, I remember watching<br />
this in HS. We were all in love<br />
with Leonard Whiting and<br />
wanted to be Olivia Hussey. Our<br />
fellow classmate and my dear old<br />
friend Maryanne Gibbons came<br />
the closest with her Madonna<br />
face and long hair. I watched<br />
it again a couple of years ago<br />
while researching and it held up<br />
perfectly. As an older woman in<br />
the world it is even more tragic<br />
now. To see this pure love end in<br />
the death of these two beautiful<br />
young people was deeply<br />
heartbreaking. <strong>Shakespeare</strong> never<br />
gets old, nor does the genius of<br />
Zefferelli.<br />
Shelley McConnell<br />
Truly my favorite when I saw it<br />
at <strong>15</strong> and still now at 65.<br />
Bonn i G, we saw this<br />
together in Chagrin Falls. Back<br />
then you could buy the color<br />
movie program and there was<br />
intermission. I still have my<br />
program from Camelot and The<br />
Godfather.<br />
Claire Searles<br />
I saw it with a date. Back when<br />
you dressed up to go to a date<br />
movie. I saw A Man for All<br />
Seasons with an English class.<br />
Anna Whyte<br />
Marcus Whyte, THIS is the<br />
movie I keep looking to get<br />
and keep talking about! Saw it<br />
first time when 16 yo! One of<br />
the most beautiful movies ever<br />
created!<br />
Cathie Cush<br />
Came out when I was in<br />
high school. Really brought<br />
<strong>Shakespeare</strong> alive for me.<br />
Loved it!<br />
Mike Palmer<br />
Cannot possibly be 50 years.<br />
I saw this at school in the second<br />
form and fell in love with Olivia<br />
Hussey.<br />
Nancy Glenn<br />
This was an actual field trip for<br />
me in HS. We got to go to the<br />
theater to watch. Loved it.<br />
Nancy Robinson<br />
Same for us. I was hooked on<br />
<strong>Shakespeare</strong>.<br />
David Williams<br />
Yes it was the same for our<br />
school and hooked me on<br />
<strong>Shakespeare</strong> as well!!<br />
Hugh Blumenfeld<br />
One rainy afternoon in<br />
Greenwich Village, I<br />
uncharacteristically walk into<br />
movie theater to see a double<br />
feature matinee: Zeffirelli’s<br />
Romeo and Juliet and Brother<br />
Son, Sister Moon. Love – human<br />
and divine. The beauty of these<br />
films pierced me like some arrow<br />
and the wound is still there.<br />
“We were all in love with Leonard Whiting<br />
and wanted to be Olivia Hussey”<br />
