"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a 2001 British historical drama film that was adapted from Simon Leys' novel "The Death of Napoleon". Directed by Alan Taylor, the film stars Ian Holm as Napoleon (his third performance as that person, after "Napoleon and Love" and "Time Bandits") and Eugene Lenormand, a Napoleon look-alike, Iben Hjejle as Nicole 'Pumpkin' Truchaut and Tim McInnerny as Dr Lambert. The plot re-invents the (secret) history surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte's exile to Saint Helena following his defeat at Waterloo.
