About Napoleon at St. Helena
Napoleon at Saint Helena (German: Napoleon auf Sankt Helena) is a 1929 German silent historical film directed by Lupu Pick and starring Werner Krauss, Hanna Ralph and Albert Bassermann. The film depicts the final years of Napoleon between 1815 and 1821 during his period of exile on the British Atlantic island of Saint Helena following his defeat at Waterloo.
Directed by Lupu Pick, Napoleon at St. Helena leans on a strong ensemble — Werner Krauss, Hanna Ralph, Albert Bassermann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
