In this first part of a longer episode I talk about the production notes of Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon movie while also talking at the beginning about the landscape of historical movies (part about Kubrick and the scripts starts at 04:55)
Intro is excerpt from Doug Maxwell's Dramatic_Swarm (public domain and free to use via YouTube Audio Library).
