Nana

Based On the book by Émile Zola

Nana is a 1955 French-Italian historical drama film directed by Christian-Jaque and starring Martine Carol and Charles Boyer. An adaptation of the 1880 novel Nana by Émile Zola, it tells the story of two French aristocrats who are fatally ruined by their obsession for Nana, a mediocre actress and prostitute. Using the ancient theme of a worthless woman beguiling powerful men, the film portrays the moral corruption of the nominally Catholic court and nobility under the Second Empire. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and filmed in Eastmancolor.
