I saw this mini series when it first was aired, and was thrilled to see it again 10 years later. I am frustrated this wonderful portrayal of Napoleon and Josephine which inspired me to research the Napoleonic Era is not available to rent or purchase. After 13 years, one would think one could purchase this movie. I hope Warner Brothers will release it so others may enjoy it.
The series depicted the relationship between Josephine and Napoleon. His obsession for her. Their romance. It was beautifully acted and the photography is splendid. It has a soap opera quality less the fluff. Too bad it isn't available to view independently.
Though filmed for TV as a sequel,this picture rises far above the soap-opera level.OK,historically it is not so instructive like other Napoleon-biopics,yet it's still pleasant to watch. The main reason is the perfect sexual chemistry between Armand Assante and Jacqueline Bisset in the title roles.Armand Assante,being of Italian origin,is Napoleon-besides Charles Boyer,no other actor resembles to him so striking-his austere,energetic,very masculine,authoritarian beauty really looks Corsican:an athletic,sun-drenched,proud Corsican ready to conquer the world.While Jacqueline Bisset is very attractive,sensual and stylish like we would expect from a Parisian grand dame of fiery creole descent. Even if history comes short,the love story is worth watching.
One of many soap operas. Interesting for the ambition to be more. And for the good job of Armand Assante. In essence, just romance. Using the history as tool for drama and tensions and love stories and the portrait of hero. One of great virtues - Anthony Perkins as Taleyrand. One of great sins - the battles. But, a decent serie. Nice, seductive, pink. Nothing extraordinary. But resonable.
This is an accurate, yet very entertaining portrayal of the love story between Napoleon and Josephine. It's an awful shame this movie (miniseries) isn't available on DVD. If anyone can tell me where I can find this (I haven't been able to) on DVD I'd appreciate it. Anything with Sean Ofalahee in it, and I would be grateful. Can somebody tell me, if there's a better way to search for a copy of this movie on tape or DVD or where I can search for it in text form with pictures or ???

- TriviaWhile executive producer Bernard Sofronski estimated that the mini-series could have been nearly half as expensive to produce if it had been shot elsewhere, such as Hungary, it was decided to film entirely on location in and around Paris, Morocco and Portsmouth, England to "do it right" and "offer something to the public that they don't see every day", adding that shooting in Hungary would have meant they'd spend all their time "trying to make [the locations] look like Paris".
