Directed by William Dieterle. With Paul Muni, Gale Sondergaard, Joseph Schildkraut, Gloria Holden. The biopic of the famous French muckraking writer and his involvement in fighting the injustice of the Dreyfuss Affair.
The Life of Emile Zola is a curiously uninvolving biopic -- curious because the second half of the film operates at a distance from its professed subject, exchanging his for another man's story.
