In this French production based on Victor Hugo's renowned novel, Jean Valjean (Harry Baur) attempts to escape his past as a convict who was imprisoned for merely stealing bread. The merciless police inspector Javert (Charles Vanel) hounds him, however, keeping Valjean on the run. After taking the neglected girl Cosette (Josseline Gael) under his wing, Valjean finds some degree of redemption, but things get more complicated when they meet the young revolutionary Marius (Jean Servais).

Harry G Feb 18, 2017 Stupendous and monumental three-part version of the Hugo classic. Raymond Bernard's camera is often skewed (Carol Reed's Third Man was clearly influenced) and lit like early film noir. Harry Baur is perfect as Valjean, huge and modest, and partnered superbly by Charles Vanel's Javert. All the supporting performances are fantastic - naturalistic and understated - and the entire enterprise is as involving and meticulous as the best of David Lean. See more
