Zefferelli's 1969 version of R&J is set during the time of the 
Italian Renaissance.  I haven't seen Hamlet in years so I don't 
remember in what time period this version was set.

I recently bought both movies but haven't had a chance to view them. 
  I admit that I ordered Zefferelli's R&J mainly for the clothing.

Now I have to see them just out of curiosity.  :)
