Letters to Juliet

Post by VonOfterdingen »

Anybody heard of this and is there a direct relation to The Juliet Letters?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892318/
An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by a the "secretaries of Juliet" -- and she goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter.

From a Rolling Stone review of The Juliet Letters:

>(The album's title derives from a newspaper item spotted by Costello's wife, about a professor in Verona who discovered some mail addressed to Juliet Capulet.)<

Nothing to do with the movie, or vice-versa...

It seems that letters to Juliet are not uncommon in the European post. In the Juliet Letters video documentary produced by BBC, Elvis talks a little about this.

One of the best things Elvis has ever done, in my opinion. He just sounds good with strings.
