Very similar to his masterpiece (War and Peace) in look, tone and in many of the details. Steiger was plausible as Napoleon although doing the whole thing in English hurt some. The Napoleon I saw in The Emperor's Last Island was better...dynamic, charismatic.
There was a cast of thousands...in costume...for the battle scenes. If I hadn't seen the other I would have been dazzled but to my eye he was really repeating what he had done better...this time for a western audience.
A solid historical epic drama.
