I thought I was treating myself by buying The Leopard on Vudu and I wish I had found this site and taken heed of the warning to avoid the Americanised version. It is embarrassing not to be even minimally conversant in French or any language other than English and having to spend time finding agreeable versions of movies I like. I always prefer watching movies with original audio and English subtitles. Dubbing is simply too great a distraction. The comment above about Italian movies typically being dubbed, even in the original language, does not give me much hope, but I would like to ask if anyone knows how to find original movies with English subtitles?

I am trying to find if his voice is dubbed in The Leopard. It does not sound as if it is him, but …? I have seen early clips of Delon speaking English and he is perfectly understandable, and his English only improves over the years. I certainly could not begin to have a conversation or memorize lines in French or Italian. I have read this comment about Delon never speaking decent English and I have neither seen nor heard any evidence of it. I would like to find a copy of The Leopard that is not dubbed and has English subtitles. Any ideas?
