Title: 1935's "Les Miserables" still remains unbettered!
Product review: It may seem ridiculous to review a movie that you haven't seen; but actually, I'm not reviewing this one at all. I'm writing this to direct the people who were disappointed with this allegedly lukewarm adaptation to the version that still trumps all others, Darryl Zanuck's 1935 triumph "Les Miserables". Three things above all, make this the one to see: 1.) Frederic March and Charles Laughton can act rings around Neeson and Rush; 2.) You get more for your money--1 hr and 49 mins. of impeccably distilled Hugo, rather than 2-and-a-half hours of Hollywood rigmarole; 3.) The shattering ending is filmed full power, instead of the infuriatingly compromised denouement seen here (if the other reviews here do not lie!). Please take a moment and see my review for the 1935 masterpiece! (Warning: Amazon's 1935 recording apparently is dubbed by foreign actors and subtitled back into english. [God knows why!] Demand the geniune article!)
