For
Countess Marie Walewska , like many patriotic Poles, Napoleon Bonaparte is the knight in shining armour who could save them from the Cossacks.
But the Emperor, when he visits Poland, is disinclined to chase Cossacks and much more interested in pursuing the countess. The Polish nobles urge her to make 'the supreme sacrifice' to save her country, thus beginning one of history's great love stories.
