Yes, the song called A Time for Us was composed by Nino Rota for the 1968 movie of Romeo and Juliet. This haunting and lyrical melody was the main theme for the film. It is sung during the Capulet party, and on the soundtrack album is called "What is a Youth" with lyrics by Eugene Walter. It is not actually called "A Time for Us" anywhere on the soundtrack album.
The singer of "A Time for Us" in the 1968 film "Romeo and Juliet" is Johnny Mathis. His version of the song was used in the film's soundtrack.
In the film the song was sung by Glen Weston.

No screenplay of any of the numerous films of Romeo and Juliet (1936, 1955, 1968, 1996, 2013, 2014) was even nominated for an Oscar. The 1955 film was nominated for a BAFTA award for its screenplay. And the 1968 film won two Oscars for costume and cinematography, but not for screenplay.

There have been a whole bunch of Romeo and Juliet films. Some of the more famous ones were released in 1935, 1955, 1968 and 1996. I enjoy them all. And there is a new one coming soon.

The first two people to play Romeo and Juliet were Richard Burbage and some teenaged boy whose name we don't know for sure but might have been Robert Goffe. Burbage played Romeo and the boy played Juliet. This took place about 1595. The first woman Juliet was Mary Saunderson in 1662, playing opposite Henry Harris. The first woman to play Romeo was Charlotte Cushman, an American, in 1845, playing opposite her sister Susan. Romeo and Juliet first appeared on film in 1908, in three different films: one with Mario and Maria Casserini made in Italy, one with Saul Panzer and Florence Laurence (the first film star) made in the USA, and one with Geoffrey Tearle and Mary Malone made in Britain. The first talking film of the play was made in 1936 with Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. IMdb lists thirty-nine films with the characters of Romeo and Juliet before Zeffirelli's 1968 film, so that film was not even close to being close to the "first" Romeo and Juliet in any possible sense.
The composer of the music for the film romeo and juliet is Henry Mancini.
Romeo was played by British actor Leonard Whiting. He was seventeen years old at the time.
