Waterloo Th 29 July 2.15

Director: Serge Bonderchuck

It is to the credit of this film that it deals with the historical event itself, and not the trivia which surrounds it, like so many other historical films do. It accurately or as accurately as an encylopedia does, accounts the events of 1815.

Rod Steiger plays Napolean and Christopher Plummer plays Wellington. They are helped by a list of other movie greats such as Orson Welles and Jack Hawkins.

It is as entertaining as it is educational. For example there are many funny moments when the caricature personalities make fools of themselves.
