Neo-realist filmmaker Luchino Visconti adapted Italian author Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard with an elegant, epic eye. While Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon lend their gorgeous faces, Burt Lancaster's Prince Don Fabrizio is the film's focus. Documenting the rise of the Sicilian bourgeoisie and the final throes of its aristocracy, Leopard is best known for its ravishing, hour-long ballroom denouement. Director Visconti's grace is seen in the period detail and amped-up color of this unqualified masterpiece.
