Paul,

Terrific picture! Was "Napoleon" available as a feature on 9.5mm?

Napoleon was released on 9.5mm on five reels.

Napoleon Bonaparte's Youth 1 x 300ft
Napoleon Bonaparte and French Revolution 2 x 300ft
Napoleon-The Road to Glory 2 x 300 ft

Not quite the five and a half hour epic, but certainly a well edited cut down of this famous classic of the silent era.

Thanks, Craig. I saw a restored version of "Napoleon" at Radio City Music Hall in the late 80's. Widescreen for the synchronized triptych sections, tinted sequences and a full orchestra playing Carmine Coppola's great score. What a thrilling experience!
