Visconti's THE LEOPARD from 1963 remains as sumptuous as ever, with Lancaster, Delon and Cardinale all mesmerising - and that final ball sequence with the Verdi waltz ... it is one book I love that is perfectly brought to life and, according to the British Film Institute, is "a film one could live in"; it will be having an extended run in London during July and is one film ideal for the big screen... I also love Gina's Sheba in that 1959 opus SOLOMON AND SHEBA - not as good, perhaps, as BEN HUR but rather more fun...
nice picture great film
