About this product

Product Information

Paul Muni stars as Emile Zola, giving possibly his best performance in this excellent biography of the great writer, which won three Oscars, including Best Picture. The film's most unusual aspect is its evasiveness regarding the anti-Semitism that led to the terrible injustice of the Dreyfus affair. As Neil Gabler and others have pointed out, this can probably be attributed to the reluctance of the Jewish studio moguls to incur the ire of a society in which they still didn't feel entirely accepted. The film tracks Zola's early years, including his friendship with Paul Cezanne (Vladimir Sokoloff), and his uphill battle to expose in print the social ills that plagued France's lower classes. When success arrives with the publication of NANA, he garners an audience that can appreciate his exposés of the corruption of the nation's government, military, and business community. But it's in the Herculean effort to clear Captain Dreyfus (Joseph Schildkraut), a victim of anti-Semitism who had been framed on charges of military espionage and sent to Devil's Island, that Zola reveals in full force the tremendous courage that undergirded his achievment. High production values, an excellent cast, and an intelligent script all add to the film's extraordinary quality.

  • The Life Of Emile Zola

    This is a very good movie about the life of Emile Zola, winner of Best Picture in 1937. Emile Zola was a Frenchman living in the later 19th century, and had a talent for writing about the abuses of society. Think Charles Dickens. At one point he took on the entire French Army over it's covering up an incident involving a wrongful conviction of a Captain.

  • Not bad

    I don't think that this is the most wonderful movie that I have ever seen, but it is good. It kept my attention and it did not bore me. Therefore, I have to give it 4 stars.
