The Life of Emile Zola

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 achievement. High production values, an excellent cast, and an intelligent script all add to the film's extraordinary quality.

Notes
Theatrical release: October 2, 1937.

Although a key reason for Captain Dreyfus's persecution by the French army was that he was Jewish, the word "Jewish" is never used in the film.

The story of the Dreyfus trial was told again in 1958's I ACCUSE!, which starred José Ferrer as Dreyfus and Emlyn Williams as Zola.

THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2000.


I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang

After returning home from World War I, James Allen, played to the teeth by theater veteran Paul Muni, dreams of becoming an engineer but instead can only find employment in a shoe factory. After leaving this job, Allen becomes a penniless vagabond, unable even to hawk his war medals. But when Allen witnesses another man commit a crime, he is mistakenly committed to 10 years on a Georgia chain gang, where he is cruelly beaten by the sadistic guards. With the help of a fellow inmate, Allen escapes to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. Unfortunately, the awful past lies in wait, preparing to return Allen to misery. I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG was one of the first talkies to foment for social change and justice. At the same time, the purity of the script and the actors’ performances give it a place among the most depressing films ever made. In spite of its dour message, the film was a huge box-office success, won an Oscar for Best Picture, and continues to be revered to this day.

Notes
Theatrical release: November 10, 1932.

I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1991.

Upon its release, the film embarrassed government officials in Georgia so much that they banned it throughout the state. They also forbid creators Mervyn LeRoy and Jack Warner from ever entering the state. At the same time, audiences across the country were so aghast that a social movement began to amend the cruelty of the Georgia penal system, an effort that quickly proved successful.

A method actor, Paul Muni refused to use body doubles, preferring to engage in the backbreaking hard-labor shots himself.
