My name is Jose Eduardo and I am from Brazil. I've just visited your
Site about Romeo and Juliet and I found it very interesting.
Well, I'd like to know if you know who is the author of the music of the
party in Capulet's house. Not the "What is a youth" song, but the one
everyone is dancing and Tybalt went to tell to old Capulet that Romeo is
there.
If you understood which music I am talking about (because my english is
terrible) and if you know the author and the name, I'd ask you to send
an e-mail to me.

Some Romeo and Juliet 1968 information on Leonard Whiting (Romeo)
Mr. Whiting currently resides in Kentish Town, a suburb of London, with his
wife, and youngest daughter. He also owns a Yorkshire Terrier named Katie.
He has written a musical play, and is hard at work trying to get it produced.

More Leonard Whiting stuff:
I read, with great interest, your bio on Leonard Whiting! I first fell in
love(me and a few million other 13 yr olds) with him while watching Romeo &
Juliet. I also saw "Frankenstein" when it was first broadcast in the US as a
mini series (over two nights) I believe it was on NBC. After watching that, I
also became a fan of Michael Serrazin(sp?)He played the Monster. Although it
was a horror story, Mr. Serrazin made the monster so sad and heartbreaking.
It really is a tear jerker, and a tragedy.Nothing like the old Boris Karloff,
Bela Lagosi "comedys". Anyway, the real reason I'm writing is to tell you
about another Len Whiting movie I remember catching years and years ago on the
late nite movie, but wasn't included in your bio. I can't think of the name
of it, but he played a young man who falls for a much older woman-I think it
was the actress Jean Simmons ((sp?)British actress). In fact I think the word
"Love" is in the tile. He persues her until she finally gives in. I'm
thinking of it as an early all- white British version of the new movie"How
Stella Got Her Groove On"(Smile)with Angela Basett! Anyway, if you knew of
this movie, but forgot to include it in your bio, please revise it for us Len
Whiting Fans. And if it's the first you heard about it, then let me know and
I will try and locate the name and other particulars so that maybe you can
rent it. I remember it being a very charming, funny, but sad movie-because I
think at the end, Ms. Simmon's character has to break Mr. Whiting's
character's heart. Let me know what you find!

Miriam Margoyles (The Nurse in R + J) played the matchmaker in Mulan. Also, when I saw a preview for the X-Files movie, they played "O Verona" as well as in the movie. I wanted to tell you that your site KIX and it would be really awesome if you made a "Signs You Are Obsessed..4". Thanx for taking the time to make a good R+J site.

I went on vacation to North Wildwood, New Jersey. I spent alot of time
on the boardwalk. They had this one store called Cookies which had
alot of Titanic posters, regular Leonardo Dicaprio posters, and Romeo
and Juliet posters. They also had a lot of postcards of Leo and some
other postcards from his movies. They also had Leonardo keychains and
stickers. On the boardwalk they had all sorts of Leonardo shirts which
I had never seen before. Some of the games on the boardwalk had framed
Leonardo Dicaprio pictures as prizes. I bought alot of Leonardo
merchandise on my trip.

Ad for R + J on video in this week's Entertainment Weekly (w/Spice Girls on front).
The recent trailor for The Avengers does NOT include "O Verona" from R + J, but the past trailor does. I just saw the trailor...just before Lethal Weapon...and that's how I know why.
Also, last weekend I saw Dr. Doolittle (awful movie..not very funny) and John Lequizamo does a voice for one of the animals, but I could not tell which one (stupid me).
Hey, just dropping by to say HI, and thank you for making such a
wonderful website for the best movie in the world!!!! Oh, and today I
went and saw Eddie Murphy's new flick Dr. Doolittle, and John Leguizamo
does the voice for one of the animals, one of the rats! Just thought I'd
let y'all know what he was up to!!
---C-ya!! Romeo + Juliet 4 -ever!!!!!!
I'm still in desperate need of the source of an article entitled "O
Romeo, O Wow". I have searched the previous Reader's Digest magazines
(like what someone suggested) and still haven't found them!! If ANYBODY
has a copy of that article, can you help me out and tell me the source
of it or can you send it to me via e-mail? Please?!

I can't believe it! While watching the sneak previews before seeing
Lethal Weapon 4. The Avengers played the music "O'Verona." What is with
these movies. They have to copy music from Romeo and Juliet. I guess
they can't be original.

Hi, just wanted to say how terrific I thought your web page on my beloved
film Romeo and Juliet. curious tho' - you said that the film is 152
minutes - the regular American version is 138 - where did you see a 152
version and HOW CAN I SEE IT??
I'm a married women with a child but this film still
gets to me. Actually I've always had a little crush on Leonard and several
years ago I wrote to him in London and believe it or not he wrote me a very
nice letter back. I was very pleased. Anyway my email address at home is:
If you could answer my question about the 152 minute
version or if you just want to chat about R&J, please contact me.
