Juarez

Benito Juarez, the hallowed name of the revolutionary leader who liberated Mexico from foreign rule under Maximilian - Napoleon III's appointed Emperor. Caught up in the intrigue to establish a democracy is Carlotta, Maximilian's mistress, whose sanity is under threat from a political maelstrom set to engulf her sad romance. Authentic, accurate and spectacular, Juarez provides ample opportunity for Bette Davis to shine in a lavish historical drama.
