USA 1937
A
slowly paced, however interesting life story, of an author named Emile Zola
circa France late 1800's. The credits state quite clearly how the biography the
film proposes is indeed fictionalized. He sought out social injustice, exposing
it where he could and the latter half of the film focuses on his trial for
libel. The film is somewhat dated although Paul Muni does a dignified job for
his lead character. It was highly regarded it 37' receiving multiple nomination
and awards, including best picture. It has since been added to the National Film
Registry. A great evening for lovers of classic cinema.

Comments: |
Warner are such a great DVD
production company. This DVD is really stacked with some great extras
from their vault. With
respect to the image quality of the main feature - it is very strong,
but perhaps weaker than other early Warner offering. There is some very
infrequent damage and the image is a little soft - no doubt, a result of
age of the film. A wonderful DVD package by Warner for this Best Picture
Oscar winning film.
