| The Moon and Sixpence (1942) |
| Loosely inspired by Gauguin's life, the story of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged stockbrocker who abandons his middle-class life, his family, and his duties to start painting, as he has always wanted to do. He is from then on an awful human being, wholly devoted to his ideal: beauty. |
