ROMEO AND JULIET is an early filmed version of the Shakespeare play notable for being the first attempt at a two-reel production. The version I watched, by Harpodeon, only has the second reel available, so it's all about tragedy here along with a brief sword fight at the outset. Romeo and Juliet have already got together by this point, but Romeo is caught up between the warring families before he discovers that a terrible tragedy has occurred.
It's a handsomely mounted thing that manages to get all of the Shakespearian aspects dead right, and it says something that the linear structure and storytelling aspect is such that the story is instantly recognisable and - crucially - understandable to any viewer, no matter the age in which they watch it.
