Charles Laughton in the part of Javert gave it as much character merely because the character as written was eminent, giving a balance to the whole story.

It isn't a bad example of the Hollywood prestige picture -- there is, at least, some liveliness in the performances.

Nominated for the Best Picture oscar, Boleslawki's adpaptation of the Victor Hugo famous novel is lavishly mounted and well acted by Fredric March and Charles Laughton
March 23, 2011 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… -
Pretentious and big, the tone is no better than that of The Count of Monte Cristo; the touted sewer scene is disappointing, but on the whole the picture holds interest...
April 16, 2020 | Full Review… -
Les Miserables is an exalted sleuth drama, both intensely exciting and deeply impressive.
August 6, 2019 | Full Review… -
This Javert, with his round face and quivering lips, his slow, heavy tread and sudden outbursts of fury, is a memorable figure, but he is badly out of key with the naturalistic treatment of the story.

Audience Reviews for Les Miserables
-
Jul 05, 2018A fairly decent production of the popular cautionary tale, carried by Fredric March in nearly typical Hollywood fashion ... until Charles Laughton's version of policeman Javett commands the screen with Terminator-like presence. He's the reason to see this.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Jan 27, 2012The reason to watch is Charles Laughton. The rest of the production suffers from a lack of emotion. Is it the result of the era's creaky soundtrack.John B Super Reviewer
