"The Emperor’s New Clothes"

Drama Period Piece with Comedy overtones - What if Napoleon Bonaparte DID NOT die in exile as history reports? What if he arranged a double to impersonate him as prisoner on the island while the real Bonaparte escapes to Paris? (This is the premise of the film) And it is more sad than funny what happens. Napoleon escapes but nobody believes it is him. It has been over six years and he appears so normal. People are more likely to think he is crazy than to be Napoleon! Some romance in this film, and lovely costuming. The acting is genuine as well.
