Fearing the power-hungry Napolean, the kings and queens of Europe pressure him to step down as the emperor of France. He bids a touching farewell to his soldiers before departing for exile in Elba. That exile doesn't last long, however, and soon Louis XVIII and his court learn that Napolean has fled the small island and is already gathering some of his loyal men in an attempt to take control once more. The troops arrive in Paris and occupy the city without a shot being fired or a sword wielded. Napolean again becomes emperor, prompting much political maneuvering by the leaders of Russia, England, Austria, and Prussia, who unite to put an end to his ambitions once and for all. © 1970 Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica SpA, renewed 1998 International Picture Investments Limited.

The most faithful adaptation of the battle to the medium of film. Wonderful practical effects and thousands of extras. We will likely never see another film of this calibre.

Epic battle scenes; outstanding photography; acting a bit wooden in parts.

classic from the 70s.
