"Napoleonics" is an interest of mine too, and I can endorse Hugh's comments....in fact "The Duellists" is one of my favourite films....it is even difficult to fault the fencing scenes (correct 19C, rather than modern, techniques are used)....a very hard film to nit-pick, which goes to show Movie-makers can get it more or less right when they choose to !!
