But that's just your opinion. I want it to be longer.

I was watching LM 1934 again (because it is fantastic) and noticed that in the Gorbeau hallway  (currently occupied by Azelma and Eponine), there’s graffiti of a cat’s backside-- a visual Patron-Minette sign!

From an American review of Raymond Bernard's Les Miserables (1934)

Naturally, there must be large omissions, obvious even to someone who, like myself, has not read the book. For instance, the transformation of Jean Valjean, the brutalized convict, into M. Madeleine, the generous, wealthy and respected Mayor of Montreuil, has to be taken for granted.

Sir, would you believe me if I told you that that is more or less passed over in the book as well?

What the 19th century did not see: Victor Hugo directing his own movie

I can only find terrible quality copies of this image but I think its Jean Valjean is very cute

There is too much revolution; too much barricades and shooting and flag waving.

Cursed review of Les Mis.
