The Emperors New Clothes

Watched this film on Sunday after I discovered it whilst channel flipping. It stars Ian Holm as Napoleon and is based upon the idea that Napoleon did not die on the island of St. Helena, but that he actually escaped again to Paris. But that the plot to restore him to the throne went wrong and that he ended up living the rest of his life running a successful fruit import business under an assumed name.

I've never come across this conspiracy theory before, but the story is very well told and acted and was quite an enjoyable piece of entertainment.
