(Flash Review)
Anticipating a large meal of a film, I easily finished the 3:28 epic romance intertwined during the Napoleonic Wars. The story jumps from here to there, person to person, location to location rather quickly. Obviously has lots of ground to cover so it does its best and nope, I have not read the classic book either. I'll just touch on the high level story which is a love story, in the upper classes, of the early 1800s as Napoleon rules and battles. You follow key characters and their relationships and romances in war time between assorted battles and time apart. There are several impressive battle scenes with huge quantities of extras. Audrey Hepburn plays the object of the men's desires and fits the role perfectly. This is a definitive epic from the 50s.
