The Leopard**
(Ita/Fra 1963)
In late 19th century Sicily, the aristocratic head of a family compromises in order to support the coming revolution to preserve the family's name, but finds his ways gradually outmoded.
Lavishly beautiful Italian soap opera, long but pleasurable for its opulence, even if the story doesn't seem to go anywhere, with lots of ballgowns in the closing reels and not much else.
Written by: Pasquale Festa Campanile, Enrico Medioli, Massimo Franciosa, Luchino Visconti, Suso Cecchi d'Amico, based on the novel by: Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.
Producers: Goffredo Lombardo, Pietro Notarianni.
Director: Luchino Visconti.
Starring: Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, Claudia Cardinale, Paolo Stoppa, Romolo Valli, Rina Morelli.
Photography: Giuseppe Rotunno.
Music: Nino Rota.
