This is a charming movie, a shame it didn't get more notice when it was in the theaters.
Ian Holm plays Napoleon who uses the old "switcheroo" to escape St. Helena.
But his substitute enjoys the job so much that Napoleon's escape is never announced, and he eventually dies leaving "the real Napoleon" loose in France without an army.
