[…] When I first read the book it had a profound influence on me, to this day I can’t quite accept the dreadful fate of most of Ferrara’s Jewish population in the closing years of the Second World War. I keep thinking, they nearly made it. The novel was made into a film in 1970. I mention the Finzi Contini film in this article: The Leopard and other exceptional Italian Films… […]

Yet another “Must read”, Janet – thank you so much for this very timely and well-written reminder of four really great films. I think “The Leopard” – (along with the equally memorable “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho and Saint-Exupery’s “Le Petit Prince”) – is one of the most gripping and memorable books I have ever read; it was in the 1960s, although I never managed to see the film – which your reminder will now prompt me to do – along with your other three recommendations, all of which (I was aware of, but have never actually seen – so that’sfour more Lock-down evenings taken care of – many thanks!!
Keep ’em coming!
Best wishes,
John
