Romeo Turns Bandit [Roméo se fait Bandit]. Dir. Romeo Bosetti. Perf. Max Linder. 1909. Othello. DVD. Keno Video, 2002.
If you're of a certain age, you likely remember John "Mighty Mouth" Moschitta. He rode to fame as The World's Fastest-Talking Man with a famous commercial for Federal Express (as, in 1981, it was known).
He's perhaps less well-known for doing an album called 10 Classics in 10 Minutes. But that's what we're here to talk about today.
I've taken the audio from the Romeo and Juliet portion of the album, sprinkled a little salt and pepper over it, added the video from the 1909 silent film Romeo Turns Bandit, and turned on the burner.
Here, then, is John Moschitta's one-minute (minus the introduction) version of Romeo and Juliet:
