I saw "Romeo and Juliet" in high school, and I remember my teacher pointing out that the Capulets were in warm colors-reds, yellows, oranges-,while the Montegues were in cool colors-blues, greens, browns, and after Juliet marries Romeo, she's in the cool colors. I wouldn't have noticed that on my own.

Danilo Donati's costume are so good. They are heavy and clunky with horizontal stripes of mixed brocades and velvets. Huge outrageous pleated, smocked and paned sleeves everywhere and on the women a raised waist, in keeping with Italian Renaissance. He's breaking a lot of "rules". It's a masterful balancing act of not making the heavy clunky costumes ugly and awkward. A triumph of proportion and color. Liz's duds are not by Donati, they are Irene Sharaff's designs. They don't suck or anything, but you can see they don't have the same feel as Donati's. Donati also did Zeffirelli's "Romeo & Juliet", y'know with Olivia Hussey. He does the same heavy layers but this time there's no comic intention, except with one of the Nurse's outfits. He still does amazing things with parti coloring, putting the Capulets in orange and black and getting away with it. All the layers coming off as the foes sword fight in the dusty streets is rather good, doncha think? **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
