Martine Carol playing the part of Nana in a screen adaption of Emile Zola’s novel, which was said to resemble Martine’s own life story. Director of the film was Martine’s husband Christian-Jaque. During the filming of the indoor race course scenes, Martine cut an amusing figure while getting back and forward to her dressing room during a very heavy rainfall, protected by her husband and an umbrella. Nice 1955.

Director Christian-Jaque shelters his wife, actress Martine Carol, with a lacy parasol during a heavy downpour on the set of *Nana* in Nice, 1955. Dressed in an elaborate satin period gown for her title role in the adaptation of Émile Zola’s novel, Carol navigates the wet ground between her dressing room and the set. Her wide-eyed expression suggests surprise as she is escorted by her husband, who was also the film’s director, past an onlooking crew member.
