Les Miserables (NR)

MOVIES

Ken Hanke | 02/26/2013

Genre: Drama

Director: Glenn Jordan

Starring: Richard Jordan, Anthony Perkins, Cyril Cusack, Claude Dauphin, John Gielgud
In Brief: Lew Grade's 1978 TV version of Les Miserables with Richard Jordan as Jean Valjean and Anthony Perkins as Javert is a reasonably solid version of the book that hits the main plot elements and adds more backstory. Apart from Tony Perkins as a twitchy Javert, it's pretty much a kind of "Classics Illustrated" take on the material. But it's a good half hour shorter than the musical.

Les Miserables (PG-13)

MOVIES

Ken Hanke | 12/18/2012

Genre: Musical Drama

Director: Tom Hooper (The King's Speech)

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Redmayne
The Story: Film version of the immensely popular stage-show musical adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel. The Lowdown: Fans of the show will probably rejoice. The uninitiated may feel differently about this extremely long, over-emphatic and self-serious film version.
