Re: THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA (1937) I have a videotape of this that I've never watched. Guess it's time.

Re: THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA (1937) Because the review doesn't mention it, I'm wondering whether the film omits the fact that Dreyfus was a Jew and the Dreyfus-affair a cause célèbre for anti-semitism (or rather opposition to anti-semitism). From my vague memories of history lessons in school, that was the main reason why the Dreyfus-affair was so important.

Re: THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA (1937)
It doesn't explicitly state that the reason Dreyfus was singled out was because he was Jewish. There is a line from one of the officers wondering "how someone like him" rose up the ranks, but that's pretty much it. I've read some criticisms of the movie for not mentioning the anti-semitism. |
