Nana (1955)
Film Synopsis
Nana, a star of the music hall, never fails to shock Parisian society with her scandalous behaviour. It is for her, the conscienceless temptress, that the banker Steiner has abandoned his girlfriend, Rose Mignon, and squandered his fortune. Nana's next victim is the Count Muffat, chamberlain to the emperor Napoleon III. Muffat spends so much time with his new mistress that his wife Sabine ends up by leaving him. Then there is the Duke de Vandeuvre, who is willing to do anything to supplant Muffat and win the heart of Paris's most notorious courtesan. Suddenly waking up to the intensity of the passions that she arouses in others, Nana decides to leave Paris and live with her good friend Fontan. But the quiet life does not suit her and it isn't long before she is back with Muffat...© James Travers
