Description
A vintage movie poster of ''Les Miserables'', a 1978 British television film adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel of the same name. Directed by Glenn Jordan, this adaptation presents a condensed version of Hugo's epic story, focusing on the central character of Jean Valjean and his journey from a hardened criminal to a man of compassion and virtue.
The story is set in 19th-century France and revolves around Jean Valjean, portrayed by Richard Jordan, who is released from prison after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. Valjean struggles to find redemption and a fresh start, but he is relentlessly pursued by the relentless Inspector Javert, played by Anthony Perkins. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of justice, love, forgiveness, and the plight of the poor and oppressed in a society marked by social injustice.
"Les Misérables" is known for its faithful adaptation of Hugo's novel and its commitment to capturing the spirit of the source material. While the television format requires certain simplifications due to time constraints, it retains the essence of the characters and their moral dilemmas.
The film features strong performances from the cast, with Richard Jordan delivering a compelling portrayal of Jean Valjean's transformation. Anthony Perkins adds depth to the character of Javert, embodying the relentless pursuit of justice.
"Les Misérables" received positive reviews for its faithfulness to the novel and its emotional resonance. It is considered a well-crafted adaptation that captures the enduring themes and powerful storytelling of Victor Hugo's original work. While it may not be as widely recognized as some other adaptations of "Les Misérables," it remains a significant contribution to the legacy of this timeless story.
