"An epic on the grandest possible scale, Luchino Visconti's The Leopard (Il gattopardo) recreates, with nostalgia, drama, and opulence, the tumultuous years of Italy's Risorgimento, when the aristocracy lost its grip and the middle classes rose and formed a unified, democratic Italy. Burt Lancaster stars as the aging prince watching his culture and fortune wane in the face of a new generation, represented by the gorgeous Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the film in two versions: Visconti's original Italian version, and the English-language version released in America".--Container.
