Manage episode 388553431 series 3240918
Trenches on the battlefield and the Prussians arriving from the wrong direction are nothing new...
Professor Tony Pollard joins me to talk about more than a century of the Battle of Waterloo being depicted on the big screen. We talk about common tropes, the way in which portrayals of the battle have developed, and some of the challenges to production.
Extended version with clips from the various films available on youtube.
