The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

A fictionalized account of famous French writer Emile Zola and his involvement in the Dreyfus Affair. After struggling to establish himself, Zola wins success writing about the unsavory side of Paris and settles into a comfortable upper-class life. However, Zola's complacency is shaken when Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus is imprisoned for being a spy. Realizing that Dreyfus is an innocent victim of anti-Semitism, Zola boldly pens a newspaper article exposing the truth, is charged with libel and must defend himself in a dramatic courtroom testimony.

One of the most watchable old school biopics made, with Paul Muni, everyone has to get over the fact that everyone in France is speaking English. Although if it were made in French it would have been a tad more authentic. Emile Zola was one of the most influential writers from France, very open minded and forward thinking, which also made him a target of censorship by the government, and also a spokesperson for art and freedom. Half of the film covers his origin and success, while the second half is mostly a court trial film. Did it deserve all those Oscars? Possibly. It certainly is a spirit lifter, even with the somewhat sad ending, but you can't make up shit like that!

One of the earliest Best Picture winners seems dated but this biography still pretty compelling today.

Quite an entertaining story based on real events. Itâ??s incredible to think this actually happened. Should be noted Zola was still alive for a few years after the release.

Carefully mounted, well directed and acted, but basically the sort of well-meaning pap out of which Oscars are made.

Any aspiring writer will find themselves in tears at the end of this one.
