"Victor Hugo's Les Miserables" (1935) A dream cast! The best English-language film version!" - Filmhead.com. Victor Hugo's most acclaimed novel comes brilliantly to life in this impeccably performed, magnificently filmed screen adaptation. Fredric March stars as Valjean, the ex-convict who rises against all odds from galley slave to mayor. Charles Laughton is Javert, the fanatical police inspector who dedicates his life to recapturing Valjean. A vivid depiction of the appalling poverty and social strife of nineteenth century France, this version of "Les Miserables" does splendid justice to the original novel. "Les Miserables" (1952) - "Glossy...thoughtful remake of the venerable Victor Hugo classic!" - Leonard Maltin. Michael Rennie, fresh from his success in the sci-fi classic "The Day The Earth Stood Still", cuts a very handsome figure as Jean Valjean, and Debra Paget, who would later re-team with Rennie in four more films, makes for a stunning Cosette in this powerful retelling of the classic epic. Costars include Robert Newton ("Treasure Island"), Edmund Gwen ("Miracle On 34th Street"), Cameron Mitchell ("How To Marry A Millionaire"), Sylvia Sydney ("Mars Attacks!") and Elsa Lanchester ("The Bride Of Frankenstein")! While nothing can replace the splendor of the written word, this collection of landmark films, accompanied by the CliffsNotes(R) Study Guides, is the ultimate celebration of the literary giants that have endured the test of time - and will entertain generations to come! This film and the included CliffsNotes(R) should not be used as a substitute for the reading of and/or discussion of the original text.
