- TriviaIn the 1920s Abel Gance had written a six-part movie biography of Napoleon. He shot the first part (Napoleon (1927)), which turned out to be a financial disaster. He sold the sixth part to Lupu Pick, who shot Napoleon auf St. Helena (1929). Wanting to make a comeback at the end of the 1950s, Gance rewrote the third part to make it "Austerlitz".
- GoofsIn the scene in William Pitt's office in London which is set in the early 1800's, you can see in the background through the window the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, 60 years before they were built.
- Alternate versionsThe original French version runs longer than the English dubbed international one. It contains extra scenes including ones with Napoleon visiting his mistress and of Ségur (Jean-Louis Trintignant) imagining the coronation of the emperor for the palace staff.

Featured review
The man who feared the Europe as anyone in history!!
Abel Gance's Napoleon made at silent movie era in 1927, on sixties he's back portraying him as Consul, when Napoleon brought to the entire European countries at its knees on the Treaty of Amiens for a long-lasting peace, however the British tries hard on backstage settles a plot to kill him on behalf of French royal family, they really fear Napoleon as unbeatable enemy that willing tries conquer the island soon as possible, hereinafter Napoleon proclaims as Imperator, later at Notre Dame invited the Pope by force, there he broken all protocol crowning himself in some way despising the holy figure.
Strangely Gance left pass unnoticed the defeat of Battle of Cape Finisterre lost by Villeneuve against the British Officer Horatio Nelson, just a little comment on movie without further explaining, also slight implies Napoleon has been cheated by Josephine too much, although he often forgot the infidelity and might his major mistake when he dismisses Robert Fulton's advance projects over steamboats and even embryonic submarine's project, the last and final chapter concerning about the famous battle of Austerlitz where the cunning war mastermind fought against a superior enemies as the Austrians and Russians, where is stated by own Napoleon as most personal victory ever as fully exposed on the picture.
Sadly the picture just spans a short period of time, without a word about the Egypt's campaign, or his early period as soldier, nonetheless the subject is enough to fill out almost three hours, Claudia Cardinale was beauty and sexy than never, Perre Mondy portraited an impressive Napoleon in all aspects, fine historical events with accuracy at its requires.
Thanks for reading.
