Movie Haiku:Lancaster stars as an cagey Sicilian padrone responding to Italian Unification in the 1860s (e.g., marrying his charismatic nephew to a nouveau riche beauty). Newly restored version of Luchino Visconti''''s 1963 classic looks fantastic but may have Nino Rota''''s worst score ever. Nevertheless Jan was entranced, altho Rich found many non-Lancaster scenes too stagey.
