Here is the Queen Mab speech.
While there may have been better film versions of the play, I think Barrymore was the best Mercutio we've had on screen. His inflections alone demonstrate his greatness, so never mind that he was too old for the part.

Hard to believe that he had trouble with his lines with this one. It was sad and tragic, but he was brilliant.
