Hundred Days (film)

Hundred Days is a 1935 German-Italian historical drama film directed by Franz Wenzler and starring Werner Krauss, Gustaf Gründgens and Eduard von Winterstein. The film depicts the Hundred Days campaign of 1815 which led to the final defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. It was shot at the Pisorno Studios in Tirrenia and on location on the island of Elba. The film's sets were designed by the art director Antonio Valente. It was based on a play by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini which he co-wrote with Giovacchino Forzano. A separate Italian-language version Campo di Maggio was also made directed by Forzano with only Rose Stradner, who played Napoleon's wife Marie Louise, appearing in both versions.

Synopsis
In February 1815 Napoleon leaves Elba and lands in France with a small force of loyal troops, swiftly ousting the restored French monarchy of Louis XVIII. The Allied leaders, meeting at the Congress of Vienna when he escaped, respond by forging a fresh coalition to defeat him spearheaded by Blücher and Wellington near Brussels. The scheming Minister of Police Joseph Fouché who rallied to Napoleon after his escape, is already plotting a Second restoration for exiled King Louis. The Hundred Days campaign ends in a decisive defeat for Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. He is forced to abdicate and sent to the Atlantic island of Saint Helena as a prisoner of the British. ==Cast==
