I saw the film when it played in NYC at Radio City Music Hall with a live orchestra in the 70's. It played for 3 or 4 times…I forget exactly which. At the end Francis Ford Coppola called Abel Gance on the phone and they piped Gance's side of the conversation over the PA system. It was an amazing night. |

Same here. Saw the film and the complete live orchestra event. Great fun. Still have my old VHS of the film. |

Saw it in Chicago at the Chicago Theater downtown, with a few war gaming buddies back in 1981. It was magical and cemented my addiction to Napoleonic gaming. |

Am I the only one who kept thinking of Tod Stewart? |

I saw it in Coolidge Corner (Brookline MA) in the late 70s. Brilliant and very memorable . |

From Autumn 2016, for the first time ever, audiences across the UK will be able to experience this extraordinary cinematic masterpiece with Carl Davis' magnificent score when the film goes on theatrical release in UK cinemas and is available on BFI DVD/Blu-ray and BFI Player…" Pretty sure it was shown in London in the late 70s or early 80s – didn't see it myself, but a group of my friends did (split screens and all) and thoroughly enjoyed it. |

I slept through it in the 70s when it played in Detroit. There certainly are some excellent scenes and generally it's "Art". Some of the scenes however drag on, the boat scene, the snowball fight, the swing scenes. I wish somebody would make the wargamers digital cut version. |
