According to Paramount Pictures' souvenir book, it appears that director Franco Zeffirelli either filmed and cut, or at least intended to film, the scene where Paris confronts Romeo at Juliet's tomb, and is killed by him in a sword fight. Fencing master Niccolo Pena was engaged to train Leonard Whiting, Michael York, John McEnery, and Roberto Bisacco, the actor who played Paris. The book states, "Romeo, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Paris all get into trouble through their haste to draw a sword." It goes on to mention that Whiting was given an authentic Renaissance sword to use in the movie.
