| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA dull epic directed without inspiration by William Dieterle. |
| The SpectatorGraham GreeneIt must be admitted, however, that a quite impressive film has emerged from all the muddle. |
| User ReviewMichael BThis is a very good film with excellent dialogue and several very memorable scenes. Empress Carlota's fury against Napoleon III's desertion of her husband and Emperor Maximilian's poignant request that the Mexican song "La Paloma" be played at his execution, are two examples. When I visited the Hofburg Palace in Vienna in 2008, I saw a dinner service made for the Mexican Imperial Family, which was fascinating. Maximilian was something of a dupe and didn't deserve his grisly end in 1867. Empress Carlota lived on in Belgium till 1927, outliving her husband by sixty years. |
| User Reviewvictor lWell-acted and reasonably factual historical drama not only of Juarez but more so the life and times of Emperor Maximilian and his wife Carlotta. For fans of Mexican history, also watch the portrayal of Porfirio Diaz. Reflects the US political climate and debates of the time, but also captures the difficult political upheavals of Mexico from the time of Juarez through Maximillian's reign and downfall. |
| User Reviewdarryl cOne the most historically accurate Hollywood films ever with some acceptable simplifications. Splendid cast and performances as well. Strangely, the film did not seem as good as on my first viewing specially with (Juarez) Paul Muni's wooden acting at times. Still an excellent supporting performance by Claude Rains as Napoleon III, however. Bette Davis (Carlotta) and Brian Aherne (Maximilian) are quite the "doomed by politic powerplays" couple. |
| User ReviewAshley HThis movie started out pretty bad, but it got better as it went along. The thing I liked about it most was the fact that you hardly got to know Paul Muni's character and spent more time with Brian Aherne's character. Bette Davis was also good in this film. I thought the movie was good but not the greatest I've ever seen. |
| User Reviewjay nEverything was just OK except that I had no interest in the story or the characters. |
| User ReviewIce RBette has a cameo, and the movie suffers. |
| User ReviewIndira SPaul Muni successfully not looking good :D |
