Leopard

Burt Lancaster in Il Gattopardo (1963).

"Among these men Don Fabrizio was considered an 'eccentric'; his interest in mathematics was judged almost a sinful perversion, and had he not been actually Prince of Salina and known as an excellent horseman, indefatigable shot, and tireless skirt chaser, his parallaxes and telescopes might have exposed him to the risk of being outlawed." -Giuseppe di Lampedusa, The Leopard.

    Great, great story; both book and film. Burt Lancaster is the Prince of Salina and no other will ever be.

    Great film and great book. Burt Lancaster doesn´t play a caracter. He is the Prince of Salina.
