When I was told to watch this old movie, I thought wow what a waste of time. In the end, I realized how wrong I was. This is a truly touching story I am glad I've watched. Thank you very much for the upload.
I totally agree with TheSimpleMindz words "I know it was filmed a long time ago, but they could have least given him a bit of dignity as he died. No, instead, let's flip his totally frozen body over a few time before he hits the water, and add a dramatic saxophone"
A subdued cry of conscience possesses the miraculous force to pull upside down all laws written by mankind. The greatest unwritten law for mankind is "TO HELP THE DOWNTRODDEN, WEAK AND POOR under all circumstances, against all odds and in the face of all tyranny. Victor Hugo's immortal masterpiece "Les Miserables" is symbolic of the mighty clash of Goodness against intransigent blind Law that does not entail rationale behind the crime and punishment. It is a must watch for everybody,folks !

If you like this 1978 version, also watch the 1998 version with Liam Neeson... it's even better, one of my all time favourite films. I do wish, however, that Eponine would be included in some of these film versions. The whole novel / film is a perfect picture of grace, redemption, and God's love, and what it means to truly forgive someone.
@maukersting javert killed himself because he couldn't stand to live in a world where val jean held dominion over him. so he wanted to escape that world by killing himself.
Thanks for uploading. I have studied that novel for our O/L exam those days.I read 1st time , that book in 1986. Manuthapaya, which is one of my best novel ever read.
The book is a fantastic read although the musical is better than the movie though I watched the whole thing anyway it was okay but it's not Les Miserables without the music. (and I'm not trying 2 offend anyone)
Makes U cry in a sad and yet Happy way. I saw a Christ-like way in John's character . kind,strong,a carpenter,the weight of his burden cast a hard hand that He over came with humility and love,from the Bishop. He gave this gift to everyone He came into contact with. This movie was great on so many levels! loved it!
you are right this is the greatest movie that I too have ever watched. It is really touching. To be honest I have watched this movie as many as 15 times. This is the 16 th time. Thanks for your wonderful work Mr. Lalith. It teaches us many stories.
I love how Mr. Perkins played Javert; just look at his eyes at 2:08 - the eyes of man whose whole world has shattered in just one moment. Valjean showed him mercy - and that is something he cannot handle, because mercy is a gratuitous gift, it has nothing to do with law, honor or blind justice, you cannot understand logically why some people are merciful, while others aren´t , you cannot understand it logically at all.
Thank you for uploading this. Caught the mini-series years ago and so many versions including a DVD are floating around with 30-45 minutes missing. Love your comments at the end. My vote --- yes, they live among us. I understand Javert's "There is no God..." is not in the book but OMG that is one of the finest lines and deliveries in any film anywhere and so sums up the character. Have tried so hard to read the book --- will now try again or die in the attempt!
Thanks so for posting this. We caught the mini-series years ago and now keep finding versions of it deeply edited for TV use. Even the DVD Netflix has has a good half hour chopped out. So happy I found this (just wish they had used the Thenardiers a little more). Have tried to read the book 3 times --- OK, will try again or die in the attempt. Your comments at the end are wonderful. Yes, those characters live amongst us is my vote.
Thank you Lalith for bringing this wonderful movie for us to enjoy. I had seen the Liam Neesen version and thought it was the greatest but after seeing this version I know this is the best. The actors were amazing. You could feel all the emotions they portrayed.
I only watched this movie because it's required in one of my subjects, but.. I really loved this movie.. and it almost made me cry.. Praise to God! :)
Great movie! Javert was incredible, and how sad that he never knew redemption or forgiveness. My only pet peeve is they left out Valjean's death-- and Eponine. :(
@DarthxErik We discussed this book in my Book Club and we had almost as many interpretations of the reasons for his suicide as there were people. Some felt that he forgave Valjean but in doing so he felt that he had betrayed his own convictions which had been lifelong and he couldn't live with himself for that. He just could not forgive himself for letting Valjean go. Others thought that Valjean's noble sincere words and actions (saving him by letting him go) made a big impact on Javert.
@laChabela42 So true! At least in this version they seem to interpret it as Javert never believed in God or mercy. Something like that. Also, if you read the unabridged book it's over 7 pages on just his internal struggle. One of the best parts of the book. I think it could've been ALL of those things the students mentioned, and for all the paradoxes screaming through his brain he couldn't handle it. His path had always been straight and now he saw two opposite tracks and he could take neither.
@DarthxErik Your statement that Javert could not handle all the paradoxes screaming through his brain hits the nail right on the head. He had such a deeply ingrained sense of justice and duty that the fork in the road with other options was impossibly overwhelming.
Javert's death in this movie (around 4:59) genuinely had me in hysterics for hours. I know it was filmed a long time ago, but they could have least given him a bit of dignity as he died. No, instead, let's flip his totally frozen body over a few time before he hits the water, and add a dramatic saxophone.
Let's just say, I've seen this death done better before.
That said, this is my favourite Javert of them all, I think he was beautifully acted, and he's got the perfect look.
thank you for this great movie...i realy enoyed watching it...i did read the story more than 20 times and never get enough frome it ...victor hugo is a great writer ,,, thank you again
esta mal la pelicula, por que thenardier estaba oculto en el alcantarillado de paris por que Javert sabia lo buscaba y cuando vio a jean valjean con marius al hombro penso que lo habia asesinado para robarle y desidio pedirle plata a cambio de qe el abriera la reja qe jean no podia pasar y lo iso con el proposito que al salir jean , javert lo encontrara y se despreocupara de thenardier , la pelicula no es como el libro
This movie is missing a lot of footage. I'm assuming it's from the VHS or DVD versions of the film, which run at 150 and 120 minutes, respectively. When this film was first aired in the 70s it ran for two nights in a row at two or so hours long (according to an Amazon reviewer). I saw that version in a high school French class 8 years ago (wish I knew where the teacher got it) and it was much better than this. This movie is still good despite the editing, but in its complete form it's excellent.
Though I must disagree about the portrayol of Javert as the "devil" figure. I myself am not strictly religious, yet it is somewhat in my life. I do not, personally, see Javert as the devil figure. Instead I see him for who he truly is - a lost man, who could have been helped had he let others in. Javert could have ended up like Valjean, yet he was such a private and uptight person that such an idea seemed preposterous to him...
@hpsmteddi Good point. I also think Valjean isn't quite an angel or a saint, he was human. The true villians were the Thenardiers, but they dont play a major role like they do in the book or musical. They were the greedy and vile type. Javert was doing his job.
Other than that disgusting sewer scene, this is a wonderful movie!
(Anyone know why Javert wears that gold ring on his RIGHT hand? You can see it at about :45.)
Anthony Perkins, I miss you dearly. Thank you for giving us these memorable performances to remember you by. You were one of the best actors of your time...
(Oh, and I love Valjean and Javert's little religion talk there... "If that is what you believe...")
*sigh* Thank you for putting this wonderful movie up.
Wow, I wasn't the only one who noticed the gold ring! Hooray!
I think... my personal opinion only... that it is representative of how dedicated he is to the law; that it's almost on the same plane as a marriage. Since Javert is a "Spy as others are priests," I see no reason that, in sort of the same vein of Enjolras' mistress being his country (Patrica), Javert cannot be "married" to the Law.
There's my two sous. But other input is welcome; I wondered about that as well!
@ForeverBloomingRose Good point. Yes, Enjolras' Patria and Javert's Law could be quite on the same plane of reasoning.
But I wonder if the ring could be something to do with Anthony Perkins (the man who plays Javert in this movie). If you're not familiar with him, Perkins was homosexual. Anything with that, perhaps?
THANKS for the post. I first saw the opera on stage in Hongkong in the 80's. I am from the Philippines and am now in San Francisco, USA. Next, I saw the london opera (10th Anniversary) on You tube where our own Lea Salonga sang the part of Eponine. Now, Sept 1,2009, I came upon this movie. Thanks a lot. I love them all. God bless.
Thank you so much for posting this. I first saw the opera on stage in Hongkong .( I'm from the Philippines and now in San Francisco, USA ). Next, I saw the musical on you tube : the 10th annivrsary in which Eponine was our own Lea Salonga. Then today, Sept 1,2009, I came upon this movie. I love them all. God bless.
"Bishop" is actually Monseigneur Bienvenu Myriel. Remember his name, if you love the character, Lalith. I believe he even inspired Q. Tarantino for the final scene of Pulp Fiction...Samuel L. Jackson buys Tim Roth's soul by giving him the money he tried to steal.
Thanks for sharing this, I think it's a great adaptation. The only thing I don't like is this finale: a little fairy tale-ish. In the novel, Jean dies happily with Cosette and Marius by his side.
Very real! Classic themes of poverty, injustice, suffering women and youth's idealism in revolution are still in our society today and Victor Hugo depict it so real.
This is nice but Jean dies in the novel. I like this ending much better but the one in the movie was so much different. but there really is no better story. I just wish the movie didn't change it so much.
k...i have no clue how to write all these peoples' name...I dont know the guy that fell inlove with Cosette. How do you spell his name? and the guy that was supposedly Jean Valjean's brother that gives him a job with him. and javert is the inspector of police's name...right? and when the young men were fighting in the movie, they are Revolutionaries? Is that what Jean Valjean said? or who are they? And the main Character has been the mayor right? Or is that someone different? Or was he a Mayor?
Wow!!! Now I know why my brother loved the book so much now that I have seen it all. What a awesome story of love and forgiveness and displaying the character of Christ. I wish Javier would've realized that like Jon in the story, then he might have forgiven himself as G-d did; and not killed himself. I did, however miss Eponine who was told in the plot. I'm definitely going to read the book. Thanks for posting this. ~Annie
Jean Valjean doesn't kill himself, but traditionally at the end of the novel and musical, he dies of old age after giving Cosette a story about her life. In the musical he goes to "God" with Fantine and Eponine.
@TheSimpleMindz He didn't die of old age (he was not that old and besides he was very strong, he has premature death, his heart is broken for being separated from Cosetta, and it is too late for recovery to happen when he is visited by her and Marius, although it isn't too late for him to meet death with a warm heart.
Fantastic, thank you for posting this. Les Miserables is without a doubt my most favorite book as it still echo's within the hearts of society today.
I met a man a few months ago who also shares my love of the book and he is a writer named Al Garrotto from the bay area in California. His latest book is, "The Wisdom of Les Miserables" and I highly recommend it to all. Not only was his book excellent, I have found him to be a man much like Jean who makes this world a better place.
It wasn't until after i had seen the hit show les mierables that i truly could gain an understanding for the beauty of the story. This movie was oustanding, and as i am sure most of you who read the book know, that the true masterpiece lies within the classic Novel by Victor Hugo. So very uplifting, and i thank you graciously for posting :)
Love it, one of the best movies ever made. we should learn to show love, compassion, and care to our fellowmen, give a helping hand when needed. It can change the world.
lalith thank you for uploading this movie... no matter what we do, we must always choose the right thing in our life that is desirable to GOD ... And then HE will do the rest for us what is best...
Les Miserables was the first book I ever liked and it's still one of my favorite today. Thank you for sharing this movie. I also like the 1935 version; it's also a fine rendition.
Bravo, oh, how wonderful! No matter how many versions I see, musical, play, film, or book, the message of this story is pure and true, and moves me every time. Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful adaption with us. *bows*
you should try Victor Hugo's other masterpice Notre dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre dame) it's wonderful too but your right les miserables is fantastic
I've just read les miserablesand i agree with you, the movies are good but the book is the best!!!

How do you spell his name? and the guy that was supposedly Jean Valjean's brother that gives him a job with him. and javert is the inspector of police's name...right? and when the young men were fighting in the movie, they are Revolutionaries? Is that what Jean Valjean said? or who are they? And the main Character has been the mayor right? Or is that someone different? Or was he a Mayor?

Wow!!! Now I know why my brother loved the book so much now that I have seen it all. What a awesome story of love and forgiveness and displaying the character of Christ. I wish Javier would've realized that like Jon in the story, then he might have forgiven himself as G-d did; and not killed himself. I did, however miss Eponine who was told in the plot. I'm definitely going to read the book. Thanks for posting this. ~Annie

Jean Valjean does not kill himself

Jean Valjean doesn't kill himself, but traditionally at the end of the novel and musical, he dies of old age after giving Cosette a story about her life. In the musical he goes to "God" with Fantine and Eponine.

@TheSimpleMindz He didn't die of old age (he was not that old and besides he was very strong, he has premature death, his heart is broken for being separated from Cosetta, and it is too late for recovery to happen when he is visited by her and Marius, although it isn't too late for him to meet death with a warm heart.

Fantastic, thank you for posting this. Les Miserables is without a doubt my most favorite book as it still echo's within the hearts of society today.
I met a man a few months ago who also shares my love of the book and he is a writer named Al Garrotto from the bay area in California. His latest book is, "The Wisdom of Les Miserables" and I highly recommend it to all. Not only was his book excellent, I have found him to be a man much like Jean who makes this world a better place.

It wasn't until after i had seen the hit show les mierables that i truly could gain an understanding for the beauty of the story. This movie was oustanding, and as i am sure most of you who read the book know, that the true masterpiece lies within the classic Novel by Victor Hugo. So very uplifting, and i thank you graciously for posting :)

Les Miserables was the first book I ever liked and it's still one of my favorite today. Thank you for sharing this movie. I also like the 1935 version; it's also a fine rendition.

Hard as I can think, I don't believe I've ever met a Valjean or Javert. But I'd like to someday. XD

Well...if you put it that way...I hear about people like that and I supposed I have met some like that. I had to think about it for a minute though.
