3.1.2 The actors.
** Are some actors in the credits but not the film?
[jp,lfr,mk]
Yes. An early version of the script [lfr] contains several scenes that do not appear in
the NAm version of the film. The running time of the film at it's premiere was ten minutes
longer than the running time in the NAm version [lfr]. Many of the extra scenes in the
early script were obviously filmed and shown at the premiere as part of the film, but were
subsequently edited out before wide international release. The characters in those scenes
are still listed in the film's credits. See 5.1 for the complete credit crawl.
** Who were the newcomers? [jp]
The title characters were both played by newcomers. This was the first feature film for
Melanie Lynskey (Pauline) and Kate Winslet (Juliet). See section 5.3 for more information
on members of the cast.
