Description

Waterloo - Making an Epic is a behind-the-scenes look at the epic film production that re-created the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis spent $25 million on the project, which was directed by Sergei Bondarchuk and featured a vast battlefield set in Ukraine. The film's production was a remarkable undertaking, with almost 20,000 Soviet soldiers involved. The book explores the making of this movie giant, including its myths and legends. It is lavishly illustrated with over 200 photographs, most of which have never been seen before. This account provides a detailed look at the film's creation, from Rome to the battlefield, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of this iconic film.
