The Leopard/Il Gattopardo (IT, 1963)

Set in Sicily around the time of Italian Unification, this screen adaptation of the novel of the same name impresses with opulent sets, authentic costumes and fine scenery. It's a little on the boring side though - one for the Italophiles and/or history buffs.

  1. I din't know that "gattopardo" was a type of "leopardo". Normally I would have expected gattopardo translated into Catpard ;)

  3. Ciao, thanks Gattoparda, I've published them both. I think you are more of a lioness than a leopard...
