The "Hamlet" in this well-mounted Italian spoof is the Danish prince, not a small town or village. The movie irreverently draws on both the Shakespeare play and the 1877 story by Jules Laforgue. In the story, Hamlet (Carmelo Bene) is a would-be playwright. He suffers from inept Freudian analysis by Polonius (Pippo Tuminelli), and Ophelia and Gertrude (Isabella Russo & Luciana Cante) are women conjured up in his erotic imagination.

This is a very light comedy involving multiple love triangles (or really more complicated geometries) of confused, mismatched, or ambivalent lovers. The script includes witty dialogue and humorous situations; most of all on display is the ridiculousness of the human compulsion to pair up. - timlin-4

Med sin næsten timelange balscene fik Luchino Viscontis Leoparden sin plads blandt filmhistoriens absolutte mesterværker. Dette er den pragtfulde skildring af et smuldrende adelsdynasti i 1860'ernes Sicilien, hvor Hollywood-stjernen Burt Lancaster helt uventet fik hovedrollen. Filmen blev en af sin tids dyreste produktioner, vandt Guldpalmen i Cannes og har inspireret filmskabere i et halvt århundrede. Francis Ford Coppolas bryllupsscene i The Godfather er som et direkte ekko fra Viscontis Leoparden, som her præsenteres i den remasterede originalversion.
