I saw this movie only 10 minutes ago. Someone lent the DVD to me when she saw that I liked Les Mis. I was amazed by it! I have always loved the Character of Javert and Anthony Perkins gives an excellent performance. One of the best I have ever seen! I am currently reading the book and he looks exactly as I imagined Javert to look, especially in the navy/black costume, top hat and cane. I love some of the humor added to the movie, especially the grave digger scene. Richard Jordan in the role of Jean Valjean evoked great sympathy for the character and becomes a hero that anyone would want to cheer on. I don't want to say any more as I could give away the plot.
