What Conquest Is About

Polish notables send Countess Marie Walewska to Napoleon in the belief that she can turn him toward Polish independence. What starts as a calculation becomes something else for both of them, although the emperor's politics were never going to promise anyone anything. Clarence Brown directed in 1937, with Greta Garbo as the countess and Charles Boyer as Bonaparte, a performance that brought Boyer a best actor nomination. The film went out in some territories under the title Marie Walewska. The grandeur was costly: despite a respectable worldwide gross it lost more money than any other MGM picture between 1920 and 1949.
