Warner Bros.Directed by William Dieterle
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Nominated: Best Supporting Actor - Brian Aherne
Nominated: Best Cinematography, Black & White
Napoleon appoints an emperor for Mexico which is met by a revolution lead by Juarez. A very boring political drama, with Muni in particular playing Juarez as stiff as the portrait of Lincoln he idolizes. Bette Davis has the most interesting scenes as the emperor's wife, but her nervous breakdown towards the end is overly dramatic. A couple of beautifully lit scenes can't make up for the overall length and tediousness.
