      3/10
      A very bad film that looks good
      Even Sophia Loren's spectacular cleavage cannot sustain interest in this elaborately produced but incomprehensible, unengaging Napoleonic-period mishmash. Scripted by seven (!) different writers - presumably in seven different rooms with no contact with each other at any time. * out of 4.
