A sumptuous adaptation of the novel by Emile Zola.
Paris under the Second Empire. Count MUFFAT (CHARLES BOYER), is a puritan who has been highly honoured by NAPOLEON III and leads an exemplary existence. But despite his prejudices, he falls madly in love with the pretty and piquant NANA (MARTINE CAROL) singer-actress, whose main earnings stem from her numerous protectors. The most important of them is the banker STEINER. NANA who’s firstly flattered by the interest this high personality is showing towards her is completely unconscious of the dramas she provokes. She will push MUFFAT towards doing the irreparable. In the cruel game of passion, he will loose his fortune, his health, honor, rank and, having fallen to the lowest, will strangle the fair capricious girl.
