Comment

After putbeing put in scene at the theater by David Belasco, and being played by Mrs. Leslie Casing in 1899, Zaza already by twice, bored the screens before. First silent film of Edwin S. Porter, appearing on the screens in 1915, whose role of Zaza is interpreted by Pauline Frederick, and a second silent film of Allan Dwan whose role of Zaza is interpreted by the large actress Gloria Swanson. Two other achievements will be born in 1943 and 1956.

This version of Zaza interpreted by Claudette Colbert struck the screens beginning 1939, by hustling manners of the puritan and virtuous time, the impregnated whole of concern the day before great world threats. Film which décria the chronicle and which sometimes was whistled and treated obscene,… pig. pig. pig. was stressed in the rooms, in spite of the efforts of the scenario writer Zoe Akins who gave best itself to carry out the work of Belasco while conforming to the rigorous standards of censure of 1939 to the United States.
