    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The series was shot simultaneously in French and English. Thus, two versions exist, with the same actors and near-identical edits, but different original languages.
    • Goofs
      Tsar Alexander and Napoleon are listening to Paganini's Caprice No. 24. However, that piece was only composed in 1817, when Napoleon was already in St. Helena.
    • Quotes
      • Charles Talleyrand: Man was given speech to disguise his thoughts, and words to disguise his eyes. Don't trust anything, or anyone.
    • Alternate versions
      Shot simultaneously in French and English. For the French version, the French actors spoke in French, the rest recited their dialogues in English and were later dubbed by other actors. For the English version, the French actors repeated the same shots reciting the dialogues in English.
