Prestige counts at the Oscars. That is why a stodgy literary biopic like The Life of Emile Zola somehow won the main award at the 1937 Oscars. It’s a solid and worthy piece of work, with a grandstanding performance from Paul Muni as the campaigning French novelist. The idea, though, that it is one of the “few truly great pictures of all time”, as its own publicity suggested, is clearly idiotic.
Yet back in the real world it’s hard to find many people who have watched it & don’t recommend it as a ‘must see.’ Interesting that.
I’m so glad I missed it.
