История

Maurizio Merli (8 February 1940 in Rome – 10 March 1989) was an Italian film actor. Merli got his first lead role in 1974 in the film White Fang to the Rescue due to his resemblance to the highly popular cult actor Franco Nero, who played the lead role in the first two films. Merli later became one of the most prominent actors of the poliziotteschi genre by starring in almost a dozen films. He died in 1989 of myocardial infarction after a tennismatch. (source Wikipedia)

(uncredited)
В мае 1860 года в Италии разгорается гражданская война между республиканцами, сторонниками Гарибальди, и приверженцами правящей династии Бурбонов. Князь Фабрицио ди Салина, сицилийский феодал, образованный и мудрый аристократ-интеллектуал, с пониманием и пессимизмом относится к происходящим переменам. Поэтому, когда его молодой племянник Танкреди сначала вступает в ряды мятежников-гарибальдийцев, а затем становится офицером короля Савойского, дон Фабрицио не осуждает его. Сам князь Салина не хочет активно участвовать в политической борьбе. Он прекрасно осознает неизбежность происходящих больших перемен и чувствует, что его время «леопардов» и «львов» — уходит. «Я принадлежу к уходящему классу, я свободен от иллюзий и не способен к самообману, — говорит он. Мы — леопарды, львы. Те, кто придет на смену, будут шакалишками, гиенами».
