About Maria and Napoleon
In 1807, Napoleon meets and falls in love with 22-year-old Polish countess Marie Walewska, who is unhappily married to a much older man. Enchanted by the blonde, blue-eyed countess, the emperor enters into an affair with Marie, who uses the relationship to induce Napoleon to treat Poland fairly.
Directed by Leonard Buczkowski, Maria and Napoleon leans on a strong ensemble — Beata Tyszkiewicz, Gustaw Holoubek, Juliusz Łuszczewski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1966.
