aka: Napoleon and Me

Film Synopsis

There is nothing in the world that Martino hates more than Napoléon.  There is nothing he would like better than to put a bullet in the head of this despicable, big-headed, war-obsessed tyrant.  He gets his chance to do precisely that when, in 1814, the defeated emperor is sent into exile on his island, the Island of Elba.  Within minutes of hearing the news he is greasing his old pistol.  But when Martino comes within killing range of Napoléon he has a change of heart.  Has the disgraced emperor pulled off yet another conquest, stealing the affections of his most dangerous enemy...?
