SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE

1998 ***** 122 mins.

This Academy Award-winner for Best Picture fully deserves the honor. This is a remarkable romantic comedy that entertains the viewer completely. It is really interesting to see how young William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) uses real-life happenings in writing his greatest work, Romeo and Juliet. Academy Award-winner Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't look any more beautiful, and couldn't be any more wonderful in her role.
Number 50 on AFI's 100 Years . . . 100 Passions.
