Director Sergei Bondarchuk's 1970 epic "Waterloo" is rarely discussed and even more rarely screened today. However, in issue #46 of Cinema Retro, we delve into the massive logistics of bringing this epic historical event to the big screen in a production that starred Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plummer as Wellington. The film was only made possible because the Soviet Union provided many thousands of military personnel to serve as extras in the magnificently- filmed battle sequences, the scope of which seemed to equal that of the real battle. Incidentally, the North American market has never enjoyed a DVD or Blu-ray release of this title. We hope this is rectified in the near future.
