★★★★★ · Excellent....Little known Gem · otisfiend · 2012-08-13
Excellent movie!Needs to be watched with no distractions. Story deals with Napoleon's exile on Saint Helena Island between 1815 and 1821. It does presume the viewer has a little knowledge of the period history and lingering questions about how Napoleon died.Costumes are excellent in the color production. Kenneth Haigh looked the way I always imagined Napoleon would look. IMDB calls the movie, "Highbrow." Maybe it is but not in any way that gets in the way of a good entertaining story with excellent actors. Billie Whitelaw is stunning. Georgina Hale is interesting. I wonder why this movie is…
