In POT BOUILLE, the well-known French novelist Emile Zola and
dramatist William Busnach combine their talents to unmask the
hypocrisy that hides behind the facade of a respectable and
fashionable Parisian apartment house. The Josserands are struggling
to make ends meet, and at the same time to marry off their two
daughters to prosperous businessmen. At the heart of this broken
family is a weak husband and domineering, spendthrift wife, who
between them create two willful children who are doomed to unhappy
lives. The sly and adulterous Berthe seduces a shop owner into
marriage, and Hortense eventually runs off with the man she
loves--knowing he'll never marry her. The result is an unflattering
portrayal of a corrupt, immoral society at the heart of French life
in the late nineteenth century. Based on one of the great novels of
modern literature
