Winner of the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival and adapted from the 1909 novel by Jack London, "Martin Eden" follows a dashing young proletarian caught between his dreams of rising above his humble origins to become a writer, his love for the woman he hopes to marry, and his political reawakening that leads to a conflict with her bourgeois family.
