Resumen:
Film producer Warner Brothers created three biopics on Louis Pasteur,
Benito Juarez and Emile Zola. This trilogy, made in the years before
World War II, when censorship in industry was more forcefully
established, became an item of anti-Nazi propaganda despite pressure
from the German government. All this thanks to the ingenuity of two
artists of Jewish origin in Hollywood: actor Paul Muni and director
William Dieterle. Both used, in a creative way, the rhetorical figures
of the allusion or the simile, next to the one of the displacement.
