剧情简介：
埃米尔．左拉是法国著名小说家，他深入社会底层，倾听贫苦大众的声音。有一次，左拉帮助妓女娜娜逃脱警察的虐待，两年后并将妓女的悲惨身世写成小说《娜娜》，引起了极大轰动，从此名成利就。十年后，普法战争爆发，犹太裔的参谋德雷福克斯被法国陆军部冤他叛国，左拉知道真相后，本于良知挺身而出，大胆揭露陆军参谋本部陷人于罪的阴谋，于是乃有“我控诉”的著名历史文献出现。本片故事描述法国文坛巨匠左拉的一生经历，以及他为了正义而不屈不挠的精神。重点正是讲述他为军官德雷福克斯平反冤案时的遭遇和他不畏强权势力的正义感。饰演左拉的保罗．穆尼和演德雷福克的约瑟夫．希尔德克劳特都演出精彩令人难忘，就几场法庭辩论戏这部分而言，本片也可视为法庭电影的先锋。
IMDB(user comments):He'll Hold You In Silence As Deep As Your Emotions !
Marvelous historical biography of Emile Zola, splendidly played by Paul Muni.
Always for the poor person, Zola immerses himself in the Dreyfus Affair. Count Esterhazy, the guilty person, is successfully able to frame Dreyfus for passing secrets to the enemy during the Franco-Prussian War. What hurts the most is that Dreyfus, a high ranking official in the French army, was immediately condemned due to a wave of anti-semitism throughout France.
Zola shall fight for the exoneration of Dreyfus all the way. In his famous J'Accuse, he drives this goal into total action.
Joseph Schildkraut, as Dreyfus, won the best supporting actor award for his portrayal of the condemned man. You feel his hurt and ultimate triumph through every step of the way. His imprisonment at Devils Island is so realistic. His wife in all this is well played by actress Gale Sondergaard, who shed her usual evil-like performances and turned in a remarkable one as the grief stricken faithful wife of the apparently hopeless Dreyfuss.
When Dreyfus is ultimately exonerated, tragedy strikes. Zola dies accidentally from poisonous gas seeping through his home. He may be gone but his legacy would live on.
