Movie Info
This acclaimed version of the classic Victor Hugo tale follows the life of Jean Valjean (Fredric March), a former convict who was imprisoned for stealing bread for his sister's family. After years in jail, Valjean attempts to readjust to life as a free man, but he finds that many are not forgiving of his past, particularly the obsessive Inspector Javert (Charles Laughton). Perpetually on the run, Valjean finds comfort in the chaos by caring for the young peasant girl Cosette (Rochelle Hudson).

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
