- BlooperNapoleon asks a British guard where he did battle. The guard replies, "Egypt, Waterloo, Corsica." The British had not fought at Corsica, by the time Napoleon was on Elba. While the British did have a NAVAL battle in Egypt against the French (August 1798), the soldier would have to be on a naval vessel. The British fought at Waterloo AFTER Napoleon escaped from Elba.
- Citazioni
Napoleon Bonaparte: The Pope considered me despicable, yet he crossed the Alps to anoint me. The King of Austria called me a Corsican gutter rat, and gave me his daughter as a bride. Anyone can make use of a friend. The trick is to use one's enemies.

Recensione in evidenza
Kenneth Haigh is splendid as Napoleon and makes a very vivid and convincing interpretation of the caged, humiliated and.wing clipped former emperor and ruler of Europe in a performance on par with Rod Steiger and Herbert Lom. His young doctor O'Meara is played by Michael Williams, and he is just as good - it's these two characters that make the film. Ralph Richardson is also very convincing as the morbidly formal and correct Sir Hudson Lowe, who was responsible for Napoleon's confinement on St. Helena and in practice his jailer, as he admits himself, forcing Napoleon to live in the house that became his death. Sir John Gielgud does not appear until in the last half hour as lord Sissal, a very important political man, who wants to plot with Napoleon and make him interested in new political projects, which intrigue is interrupted by Napoleon's strange illness, which no one, least of all his doctor and himself, can understand. Two ladies are also involved, there are some efforts at some amorous intrigues, and there is also an attempt at an escape, but all that is part of the general speculations of the play and script. On the whole, it gives an intimate insight into the last pathetic chapter of Napoleon's rise and fall, and the acting and dialog is superb. This must not be missed by any historically interested cineast.
