The Leopard

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.
