This is a superb production! Richard Jordan's finest performance. Anthony Perkins is a remarkable Javert, managing to make him both reprehensible and sympathathic. Bravo!

This video obviously looks like a pirated version. Over an hour of the original video tape has been left out. I wouldn't waste my money.

This movie was fantastic. Just Note however that this movie does NOT include any of the music from the Broadway Play. I bought this DVD not knowing that it was simply a theatrical verson of Les Miserables. While the fabulous music was not included in the movie the story was great and was a great dvd to watch.

I am disappointed that this is an abridged version of the vhs tape version, which was also an abridged version of the tv mini series shown over a week. Sticking closer to the book than most versions, the mini series was the best presentation I have ever seen. Even so, one must remember Victor Hugo wrote Les Miserables over a period of several years in a serial format, like his contemporary, Alexandre Dumas - of which The Three Musketeers was but one of several books dealing with lives of all people involved in one gigantic story. It is unfortunate that one can only have a full appreciation of such a great story - not by watching dvds or tapes, but by reading the original by the author.

An excellent version of Les Miserables.
Originally shown on TV in 1970's I believe.
