The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

A fictionalized account of famous French writer Émile Zola and his involvement in the Dreyfus Affair. After struggling to establish himself, Zola wins success documenting the unsavory side of Paris and settles into a comfortable upper-class life. However, his complacency is shaken when Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus is imprisoned for espionage. Realizing that Dreyfus is an innocent victim of anti-Semitism, Zola boldly pens an exposé, only to be charged with libel and now he must defend himself in a dramatic courtroom testimony.

Biography of the famed writer who helps an innocent man out of jail yields another underserving winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Very little to find special about this film. Controversial Zola (Paul Muni) is constantly censored for his novels by the government for being accurate and truthful. One day, a captain (Joseph Schildkraut) is arrested, tried, and convicted of treason. Zola determines to find the truth about the accusations, but he also gets in trouble during the investigation process, for which he has to flee France to England, where he is still determined to help this innocent man. Although there are some interesting sequences, the end result is unsatisfying and the overall movie is insignificant. Muni is not as good as he is in earlier works. A general letdown!

"He was a moment of the conscience of man" This and Gandhi should be required viewing.

Zola from starving writer to successful man of letters is eventually compelled to fight for justice via the Dreyfuss case.

As much about the Dreyfus affair than about other parts of Zola's life. Well-done.

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