Les Miserables Reviews: Wonderful Les Miz 2008-12-02 - This is a superb production! Richard Jordan's finest performance. Anthony Perkins is a remarkable Javert, managing to make him both reprehensible and sympathathic. Bravo!
Les Miserables 2008-08-19 - This video obviously looks like a pirated version. Over an hour of the original video tape has been left out. I wouldn't waste my money.
Note: No Music from Broadway Included in Movie 2008-08-18 - This movie was fantastic. Just Note however that this movie does NOT include any of the music from the Broadway Play. I bought this DVD not knowing that it was simply a theatrical verson of Les Miserables. While the fabulous music was not included in the movie the story was great and was a great dvd to watch.
Disappponting 2008-06-01 - I am disappointed that this is an abridged version of the vhs tape version, which was also an abridged version of the tv mini series shown over a week. Sticking closer to the book than most versions, the mini series was the best presentation I have ever seen. Even so, one must remember Victor Hugo wrote Les Miserables over a period of several years in a serial format, like his contemporary, Alexandre Dumas - of which The Three Musketeers was but one of several books dealing with lives of all people involved in one gigantic story. It is unfortunate that one can only have a full appreciation of such a great story - not by watching dvds or tapes, but by reading the original by the author.
Les Miserables..with Richard Jordan 2008-05-11 - An excellent version of Les Miserables.
Originally shown on TV in 1970's I believe.
