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

Featured review
the best version of a book like Les Miserable is an impossible mission. because this is the fate of a great novel. this adaptation has the gift to be correct. and memorable. and impressive. and each of this are more than precious virtues. because it is Les Miserable of Jean Gabin, Bourvil and Bernarb Blivier. because the atmosphere, the music and the respect for novel are admirable. because the spirit of one of the French literature masterpiece is preserved and presented in inspired manner. and this does the film more useful for the readers of the book of Victor Hugo because Jean Gabin gives a magnificent Jean Valjean. not only at the level of image but as wise exploration of the gestures, fundamental change and generosity. and Bourvil is Thenardier more than you imagine. a film who use the lines of text as impeccable clothes. so, not ignore it !
