Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichel Audiard did not write a line for this film. He is not even in the credits. He was perhaps originally approached to collaborate in the writing, notably because of his affinity with Jean Gabin, finally did not contribute to it. Jean-Paul Le Chanois makes this clear in his interviews with Philippe Esnault: I liked Hugo's work very early on, I'd written the screenplay with René Barjavel (who had worked with me a bit on "Le Cas du docteur Laurent").
- Quotes
Courfeyrac: It's a pity to kill that young man, he could be your brother.
Enjolras: He is.
- Alternate versionsFor the release in West Germany, the film was considerably censored and shortened, as well as completely re-dubbed.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Les misérables et Victor Hugo: Au nom du peuple (2020)
Featured review
I have seen a number of film and TV adaptations of Les Miserables: this is by far the best. It has the required grandeur and outstanding performances by Jean Gabin (unbeatable as Jean Valjean), Bourvil (a very sly Thenardier) and Bernard Blier (a great Javert). Silvia Montfort is a striking Eponine. Quite long but doesn't feel it, it has enough scope to do justice to the story.
