Good film that opens grandiosely with the Cossacks' raid on Walewska's residence.
Indeed, in the second act it all collapses a bit. Especially because of Greta Garbo's distant lovemaking, which I've never been a big fan of.
Fortunately, Napoleon played by a great Charles Boyer remains interesting enough not to fall asleep.
And thank goodness there is a French version!
