Gattopardo, Il "The Leopard" (1963) Burt Lancaster, as Prince Don Fabrizio Salina, says to his secretary: "Understand Father? Ours is a country of arrangements." Romolo Valli, as Father Pirrone, replies: "You nobles will come to an arrangement with the liberals...and even the masons? At the expense of the Church? Than our property which is the patrimony of the poor will be seized and carved up by the ringleaders." The English version is slightly different: "To put it briefly, you aristocrats will come to an accord with the liberals, certainly with the masons as well." [00:17:00] Directed by Luchino Visconti.
