Napoleon’s abdication and his exile to Elba: his dramatic escape, his reunion with his devoted troops and their generals. His last, desperate bid for ultimate power and glory, so narrowly defeated on the bloody fields of Waterloo. This is a film on an epic scale with a cast to match, contributing fine portraits of great men against a magnificent backdrop of battle and bloodshed.
