***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Christian-Jacq offered his wife Martine Carol to play the Famous Prostitute of Zola Novel..It is true that those women (called "les Cocottes")really existed in the Gay Paris of the late 19th century .Some of them like Emmanuelle d'Alençon,Liane de Pougy or la belle Otero destroyed very wealthy tycons and pushed some of them to suicide..but they hardly looked like Martine carol who's just nice funny and gentle...and certainly not a deadly "femme fatale"..Sadly the end of the movie showing nana strangled by Muffat is really stupid..in the novel Nana is killed by syphilis.
