As the nobility begins to fade from prominence in Sicily, the rise of the merchant class intimidates those who cling tightly to their peerages. In the 1860s the noble family of Fabrizio Corbero, Prince of Salina (“Il Gattopardo”) is collapsing, and while the Prince struggles to manage, his cunning nephew marries the daughter of Don Calogero Sedara—a former peasant who is now the Prince’s equal.

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: Le Grandi Donne.
