This disk brings into print the finest performance of "Les Miserables" on film. Given the scope of Hugo's great work, this is a remarkably insightful, terse, beautifully acted and consolidated adaptation. Of course it is to see the brilliant, poignant, multi-layered relationship between two of history's greatest actors, Charles Laughton and Frederick March as Javert and Valjean, which justifies snapping up this treasure. The supporting roles are beautifully articulated, especially the cameo of Sir Cedric Hardwick as the Priest of the Silver Candlesticks which both symbolize and cause the transformation of both central characters. The black & white photography is so outstanding, it becomes an independent player in the film. With the exception perhaps of his recitation of The Gettysburg Address in "Ruggles of Red Gap," the final realization sequence of Laughton's Javert is his greatest moment on film . . . all the more powerful because it is silent.Read full review
I was waiting for Seven Days in May DVD to arrive before reviewing this. I really appreciated Fredric March and Charles Laughton in this version of Les Miserables. Their performances had been indelibly factored into my memory from my viewing it years ago on the internet. I am now pleased to own the DVD movie.

Excellent performances. Had some issues with the DVD skipping and freezing. Perhaps because of converting older movies to DVD? Still, an excellent value.
