This film has the typical air of Italian action/gangster comedies from that period - it is a perfectly charming and funny sort of comedy. The cliches of black and white are wonderfully maintained in this movie as the good guys are clever and witty and the bad ones are bad and pretty dumb. The "Shakespearian" dream of the "good" Mafioso a bit stupid but then a film like that seems in need of a few blunders.

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.
