Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Romeo and Juliet is a 1936 film directed by George Cukor.It stars The Marx Brothers in a story where—no, just kidding, it's an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Montagues and Capulets, "two households both alike in dignity" of Verona, hate each other for reasons unknown. One Romeo Montague is depressed because he has just been dumped by his girlfriend, Rosaline, a distant relative of the Capulet family. He crashes a Capulet party in hopes of seeing Rosaline, but once he meets Lord Capulet's beautiful daughter Juliet, he instantly falls in love and all thoughts of Rosaline are forgotten.Juliet falls in love with Romeo as well, despite the fact that her parents are pushing her to marry another nobleman, Paris. With the help of Juliet's faithful Nurse, the two are married in secret. However, the next day Juliet's cousin Tybalt kills Romeo's cousin Mercutio in a duel, followed by Romeo killing Tybalt. Romeo is then banished from Verona. Can these Star-Crossed Lovers find happiness? Of course not!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer star as the title characters (they were 43 and 34 years old respectively). Other members of the All-Star Cast include Basil Rathbone as Tybalt and John Barrymore as Mercutio.Compare the acclaimed 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, or the 1996 modernized version with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.

Adaptation Expansion: A number of scenes are expanded as opportunities for visual spectacle, including the opening brawl (set against the backdrop of a religious procession), the wedding and Juliet's funeral. The party scene includes Rosaline (an unseen character in the text) who rebuffs Romeo. The role of Peter is enlarged, and played by Andy Devine as a faint-hearted bully. He speaks lines which Shakespeare gave to other Capulet servants, making him the instigator of the opening brawl
