Based on the novel by Giuseppe di Lampedusa, this is the story of Sicilian aristocrat Prince Don Fabrizio Salino (Burt Lancaster) and how he handles the changes in life brought on by the Garibaldi Revolution in the 1860s. Knowing that the class system is changing and that the aristocratic society is doomed, Salino reluctantly arranges the marriage of his nephew Tancredi (Alain Delon) and Angelica (Claudia Cardinale), the beautiful daughter of a rich merchant who has been appointed the town's mayor Don Calogero Sedara (Paolo Stoppa). The highlight of this film, performed on a beautiful set, is the 40-minute scene at the grand ball.
