Napoleon

Assessment:
A cinematic epic which, although brilliant in most particulars, owes its greatest interest to its narrative sweep, its flair for composition and its use of triptych screens which at the end combine to show one giant picture, the clear precursor of Cinerama. In 1934 Gance revised his film and added stereophonic sound.

Notes:
An editor finally gets some recognition. This film wasn't in the 1st Edition, was given two stars in the 2nd and four in the 3rd Edition - a unique event, at least according to my research.
