You hear Lancaster a...It's one of my favorites. You hear Lancaster and Sicilian prince and think WTF?!? Then you see the movie and you can't imagine anyone else in the role.<br /><br />I love it when he explains that they can use his name, but he will not go and join the new government. That to the South, the Northerners are colonizing them.<br /><br />Visconti had a personal attachment to the material because he was descended from a royal line. I think it was his grandfather or great-grandfather who essentially was The Prince.<br /><br />The book is good too, but not as good as the film.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it! By the way, did you spot Terrence Hill in the movie?<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it.Valerie Troutmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410883127046380616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-68475712160953477772011-12-17T08:55:26.362-05:002011-12-17T08:55:26.362-05:00Good review, I agree this is one of the most beaut...Good review, I agree this is one of the most beautiful films ever made.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-89494741473970194972011-12-16T19:57:18.002-05:002011-12-16T19:57:18.002-05:00I feel guilty for not having seen this one, but it...I feel guilty for not having seen this one, but it's on my watchlist. Other foreign directors I think you'll like are: Francois Truffaut, Vittorio De Sica, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, Krzysztof Kieslowski. I'm working on a top 50 directors post which will be up next Friday.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
