Romeo and Juliet is a 1954 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. It was directed by Renato Castellani. It later won the Grand Prix award at the Venice Film Festival. However, it was criticized for being too different from Romeo and Juliet, as well as the fact that the actors were inexperienced and many had never acted before at all.
