    Napoleon and Josephine A Love Story VHS copy wanted!!!
    I love this movie and I am trying to obtain a copy of it - VHS or DVD. Starring Armand Assante and Jacqueline Bisset. I saw the movie on a television mini series several years ago and have tried to find it in VHS format every since then. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves, love stories, and who may be interested in the history of their endless love. I would like to add this to my collection of Napoleon and Josephine collections. I think that the movie was very well made. Thumbs up to to the Producer and to Warner Home Video. It would be much better if it was available for everyone who may have missed it!!! I would also like to purchase it so that I can watch it wherever and whenever. Do we know when this movie will be aired again in the United States??? Please let me know if you can help.

    I need to know who may have it for sale and how I can go about purchasing it!!! I have been looking for years, without success.

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Kimberly
