A quirky period drama, suggesting an alternate ending for one of history's most famous dictators. Ian Holm plays Napoleon Bonaparte, whose botched escape plan leads him into an unexpected new life. Roger Eberts calls this "a surprisingly sweet and gentle comedy"; The Washington Post says "...a sprightly script ... crisp direction ….sumptuous visual allure"
