Les Misérables (1978)

Victor Hugo's classic tale of pursuit and revenge in which Jean Valjean, a handsome young woodcutter, is cruelly sentenced to jail for stealing a loaf of bread he took to feed his starving family. Javert, the ice-cold Inspector of Prisoners, who relentlessly persecutes Valjean, is determined to keep him imprisoned for life. Les Misérables weaves a tale of courage, daring, escape and the indomitable human spirit. Truly a masterpiece of production, Les Misérables was filmed on extravagant locations throughout France and Europe and features Richard Jordan, Anthony Perkins, Cyril Cusack, John Geilgud, Celia Johnson and Flora Robson.
