The film's superb first two hours, which weave social and historical themes into rich personal drama, turn out to be only a prelude to the magnificent final hour--an extended ballroom sequence that leaves history behind to become one of the most moving meditations on individual mortality in the history of the cinema. (Review of 1983 Release)

The Leopard was written by the only man who could have written it, directed by the only man who could have directed it, and stars the only man who could have played its title character.

Virtually 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)
