Clip from the 2002 mini-series “Napoléon” (4 x 90-min episodes).
“Napoléon” is a historical mini-series which explored the life of Napoléon Bonaparte. In 2002, it was the most expensive television miniseries in Europe, costing the equivalent of $US 46.3m to produce. The mini-series covered Napoléon's military successes and failures, including the Battles of Eylau, Austerlitz, Waterloo and the retreat from Russia. It also looked at Napoléon's personal life: his marriage to and divorce from Josephine de Beauharnais, his marriage to Marie Louise, the Duchess of Parma and daughter of “doppelkaiser” Francis II, and his affairs with Eleanore Denuelle and Marie Walewska. The series is based on Bonaparte historian Max Gallo's eponymous bestseller.
The mini-series was produced by GMT Productions in France and co-produced by Transfilm in Canada and Spice Factory in the UK. In the United States, it aired on the Arts and Entertainment (A&E) channel.
