In 1804, Napoléon Bonaparte is proclaimed Emperor of France. After the English breach a peace treaty with France, it is inevitable that the two countries will be at war. At Trafalgar in 1805, France suffers a military defeat, but in October of the same year, Napoléon triumphs over Austria at the Battle of Ulm. To secure his future as Emperor, Bonaparte needs one more great military victory - this will earn him the prestige that will allow him to achieve his ambitions for France. On 2nd December 1805, Napoléon will have this victory - at the Battle of Austerlitz, the crowing glory of his career…
Austerlitz (1960) was the battle that made Napoleon Bonaparte not only one of western civilization's greatest generals, but it solidify his position as Napoleon I "The Emperor of France". I saw this film many years ago on video. The colors were washed out and it was cropped big time. Besides these faults, the movie was great. If there's a movie that needs to be restored it's this one. A film of this magnitude and the grand scale it was presented on needs to be shown it is original glory.
Highly recommended.
