The film is a glittering triumph of personal expression at its most elegant and opulent.
Read the full reviewWatching this masterwork allows you to return to the filmmaking sensibility of the 1960s, when epics looked like epics.

Read the full reviewVirtually every Super Technirama frame of Luchino Visconti's 1963 masterpiece The Leopard could be described as "painterly" in its ornate details and exquisitely balanced color compositions. (Review of DVD Release)
Read the full reviewItaly's top bestseller of recent literary history, Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa's The Leopard comes to the screen in a magnificent film, munificently outfitted and splendidly acted by a large cast dominated by Burt Lancaster. (Review of Original Release)
Read the full reviewFor the most part, Nino Rota's music provides a rich melodic surrounding for the pictorial magnificence, and a heretofore unknown Verdi waltz that is played at the ball at the finish appropriately supplements this remarkably vivid, panoramic, and eventually morbid show.

Fascinating story and man
"This movie, in its epic length, scenery and scope, is apporopriate for dealing with a character as large and complex as was T. E. Lawrence, here called Lawrence of ARabia. The man who was a catalyst in the Arab revolt, who viewed himself as almost Arab, is a fascinating and intriguing man. Behind the facade of a bloodthirsty warlord is the truth of a passionate and dedicated man. This movie, and O'Toole do wonderfully at portraying Lawrence's character. The movie is also notable for good acting across the board and amazing scenery, which stands out almost as much as the fabulous story. One of my favorite movies."
