In 1.11, 1.16, 1.31, 1.36, 2.38 & 3.02 what is the name of that movie. Have not seen those Napoleons before?

@aussiewomen They are all scenes from "Io e Napoleone" (Napoleon and me) an Italian comedy about Napoleon's time on Elba. It's based on a book, although the film is very different from the book. The scene at 3:02 is from Abel Gance's "Napoleon".

How did they make his stay on Elba into a comedy? In the light of the fact that he managed to escape and retake the throne, that seems weird.

@faquarl08 It is pretty weird indeed. The movie is based on the book "N." by Ernesto Ferrero. The book is definitely not a comedy though and if in the movie they had not changed everything about the book besides the basic plot and the characters, it would've made a great historical drama. Now it's a mediocre comedy at best. The book is a great read though, offers a very interesting perspective on Napoleon's stay on Elba.

So I was looking through the comments and saw that you got clips from Heroes and Villains, Monsieur N, and Napoleon (1927). I found Heroes and Villains and Monsieur N and LOVED them. I'm going to look up Napoleon (1927). Are there any other good Napoleon movies you could recommend? Any other movies you used for clips?

[Fudgemellow]

@1catholicchick One other movie I used is "Io e Napoleone", an Italian movie based on a book about Napoleon's exile on Elba. I would definitely recommend the book. The movie is quite good too, although besides sharing the title and also being situated on Elba it doesn't have much to do with the book.

In Egypt he buildt Schools and Hospitals and basicly acted like a world police, and not really a conquerer. Of the 50000 men he took with him to Egypt 16000

was civilians such as scientists etc.

The campaign in Russia was pretty bad yes. But not intentionally. Napoleon just wanted to punish Russia a little bit becaus they dident keep their promises to him. Using such a big army was an overreaction and it did go terribly wrong. The Russia-campaign was so untypical for Napoleon that Freud the psycolog has tried to analyze what went wrong with his head! (He believed NP was unconscious punishing himself for leaving Josephine) Except from Russia and Egypt he only defended France.
