Victor Hugo's unforgettable novel Les Miserables comes to life in this 1978 adaptation. Jean Valjean (Richard Jordan - Captains And The Kings) is a handsome young woodcutter cruelly sentenced to jail for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving famiIy.
Javert (Anthony Perkins - Psycho), the ice-coId Inspector of Prisoners reIentIessly persecutes VaIjean, and it determined to keep him imprisoned for life. VaIjean's struggIes and quest for redemption form the nexus of a series of interactions and events that span nearly twenty years, impacting history itself.
Set against the backdrop of the 1832 Paris Uprising, Les Miserables is truIy a masterpiece of production. Extravagant European locations and an excelIent supporting cast (including John GieIgud, lan HoIm, CeIia Johnson and FIora Robson) further ilIuminate Hugo's cIassic taIe of courage, escape, and the indomitabIe human spirit. |
