Overview
As Garibaldi's troops begin the unification of Italy in the 1860s, an aristocratic Sicilian family grudgingly adapts to the sweeping social changes undermining their way of life. Proud but pragmatic Prince Don Fabrizio Salina allows his war hero nephew, Tancredi, to marry Angelica, the beautiful daughter of gauche, bourgeois Don Calogero, in order to maintain the family's accustomed level of comfort and political clout.

A magnificent film, munificently outfitted and splendidly acted by a large cast dominated by Burt Lancaster's standout stint in the title role.

The film is a long, rich sigh at the end of the day, one that only Don Fabrizio can hear.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Two-plus hours of engrossing machinations and opulent scenery point the way to the piece de resistance: a 45-minute gala scene that the Almighty himself would approve as a luxuriant prelude to the Rapture.

Is this the most beautiful film ever made?
