Napoléon Bonaparte's life, loves and exceptional destiny from 1769 to 1821, but as seen through the eyes of Talleyrand, the cynical and ironic politician who once was the Emperor of France's Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Another cameo for Orson Welles as Hudson Lowe in this all-star production of episodic glances at Napoleon's life from 1769 to 1821, as seen through the eyes of Talleyrand; Daniel Gelin portrays the younger man and Raymond Pellegrin portrays the older one.—Adalberto Fornario
