518 Originally produced as an American motion picture in 1937.
520 In 1862 Paris, Emile Zola is barely scratching out a
living writing muckraking articles about the poverty of
the French people and the corruption of their leaders.
Until "Nana," about the life of a prostitute, becomes a
smash hit and turns Zola into a celebrity, champion of the
people. As he churns out a string of similar books that
make him quite rich, his old friend Paul Cezanne tells him
"An artist should remain poor." His determined
intervention in the Dreyfus Affair, at the request of
Dreyfus's wife Lucie, results in "J'accuse!" his famous
denunciation of the Army, and leads to a conviction for
libel. He flees to England, where he remains until granted
amnesty. Unfortunately, he dies before the news that
Dreyfus was exonerated and reinstated to full rank can
reach him. Indicative of the mores of its time, during the
course of this clear story about institutionalized anti-
Semitism, the word "Jew" is never mentioned. And while
most Hollywood biographies must be taken with a grain--if
not a handful--of salt, the film makes a reasonable effort
at accuracy and completeness.
