Review title: Les Miserables - Lite
Product review: While other reviewers may have found this a worthwhile set, I did not enjoy either movie. In truth, the 1952 version seemed to use the same screenplay/script as the 1935 version. I have thoroughly enjoyed the book in several readings, and on audio, but these two movies are "disneyfied" corruptions of the story. I realize that two hours is not enough to do justice to Victor Hugo's tale, but the 1978 version is a much better attempt than either of these. I must say that I also resent it when screen writers re-write a masterpiece. Fantine does not meet Cosette before she dies! The absence of the Thenardiers leaves out two important characters that should flow throughout the story as symbols of the ills of the society being portrayed. If you would like to see a version of "Les Miserables - Lite", then these are for you; however, neither version conveys more than a smidgen of what Hugo wrote.
