What a mess

The Leopard (1963)

The Mid-Life Crisis: Fabrizio Corbero (Burt Lancaster) aka the Prince of Salina has a hard reality to face up to.

The aristocracy of yesteryear is slowly dying out to be replaced by a new order, as represented by class-hopping ex-hobo Don Calogero Sedara (Paolo Stoppa).

But is Corbero too proud to do anything about the changes that are ringing in?

Reasons To Be Cheerful: Fabrizio’s power is waning, but just look at the dresses!

      Didn't realise quite how much Nicholas Hoult is starting to look like Hugh Grant (looking at the pic at no.33). Freaky.

      I'm sad The Nightmare Before Christmas isn't on there, that movie is essentially a Halloween ghoul having a mid life crisis.

      #48, Barbara Whiteman was played by Bette Midler. Not Meryl Streep.

      I'd say Ben in Leaving Las Vegas was having a pretty major bit of a midlife crisis. And how about Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption? Busting out of prison just cos he's bored and wrongly imprisoned. What a loser.
