Anthony Perkins I love you
How best to follow Charles Laughton in one of his most famous roles? First, be tall and thin, unlike Laughton's short and portly, and then fit the Victor Hugo description of a character who looks like you — not Laughton.
Anthony Perkins, who stars as the obsessed policeman, Inspector Javert, who has dedicated his life to capturing Jean Valjean (Richard Jordan), in "Les Miserables," has more than looks and literature on his side. He has the most authentic production of "Les Miserables" ever filmed, [nothing against the 78 production but how can they just claim that?] airing Wednesday from 8 to 1 1PM on CBS [. . .]
"We tried in this production — in the locations chosen by producer Norman Rosemont, in the costumes, in the intelligence of the translation — to be as faithful to the original as we could," Perkins noted.
The original, published in 1862, became a classic novel of the striving of the French of that period for individual freedom [okay I guess...] and the dignity of the citizen. And it is reassuring to an actor that he looks the part of a character created by Hugo 116 years ago. "It's a coincidence, but I am far closer to the description as given in about 100 pages than anyone who has played the part before. So, I started with that on my side.
"I have seen Mr. Laughton's performance, and I was reassured because it was so different from anything that we are going to try to recreate in this film," he noted. "As everything Mr. Laughton did in those days, his Javert was highly idiosyncratic and very personal to him. And, in this case, not especially authentic. And 'authentic' is the hallmark of this film."
Perkins followed Anthony Hopkins on Broadway as the psychiatrist, Dr. Dysart, in "Equus" was followed by Richard Burton, and then succeeded Burton. "That experience taught me something," he stated.
"I realized that to the people who were watching me in 'Equus,' on any given night, I was the Dysart they were seeing. In 'Les Miserables,' I will be the only Javert they are watching on December 27-and they will temporarily forget what they had seen before."
Or perhaps they will forget permanently. For Perkins presents a chilling, tortured, obsessed Javert. Martin Dysart would have loved to get him on the couch.

MCU’s FANTASTIC FOUR
The dynamic duo, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, created a super hero family with powers to protect the world from dastardly evil beings with plots to rule the earth. The mighty team is led by scientist Reed Richards - Mr. Fantastic, Susan Storm (Mrs. Richards) - The Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm - The Human Torch is Susan’s brother, and Ben Grimm - The Thing is Reed’s best friend.
The team went a test flight expedition aboard a space ship when they were hit by a cosmic storm containing a massive amount of gamma radiation. Though they weren’t injured, they soon discovered that the exposure to the radiation altered their DNA, each having a different life-changing effect. They each learned their abilities and became superheroes.
Reed’s body became elastic and rubbery, stretching to unbelievable lengths. Susan can make herself invisible along with the ability to create force fields. Johnny’s body ignites into flames as hot as the sun and he can fly. Ben’s anatomy transformed into stone with unmatchable physical strength. Together, the combined abilities of the team makes them one to be reckoned with, but challenging for their foes to want to conquer.
From Pages to Screen
THE FANTASTIC FOUR first came to life in 1963 with ten episodes.
Cartoon series entertained fans of all ages in 1967, 1978, and in 1994 - all fun and enjoyable to watch.
In 1994, a TV movie was made but not released. The budget was low and it was during screening that producers refused to air it because of the low quality special effects and acting.
In 2005, 20th Century Fox released the first of two the FANTASTIC FOUR films starring Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm, and Julian McMahon as Victor Von Doom. The movie’s budget started at $87.5 million and when production wrapped, it cost the studio $100 million to make. FOUR fans rushed to theaters to see their beloved heroes earning the studio $333.5 million dollars.
In 2007, the cast reprised their roles in FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. Budget for this production was $120-$130 million and had box office earnings of $301.9 million.
Both films were directed by Tim Story. Mark Frost, Michael France, and Stan Lee wrote the screenplay in 2005 and the 2007 film was written by Don Payne and Mark Frost. Critics weren’t fond of either movies, but they fared well in earnings and fans. Of course, Stan Lee had adored cameos that had us tickled pink with delight. If you’ve seen the movie, I’m sure you may have been critical about the CGI, but keep in mind that that particular technology was blooming and it was decent and watchable for its time.
Both films had critics that felt the movie had a lack-luster feel and felt generic when compared to SPIDER-MAN. (I don’t believe these critics read any of the comic book series). Despite their opinions, comic fans enjoyed the movies for what they were: cartoon heroes that came to life and non-comic book fans enjoyed the movies for pure entertainment.
Marketing FANTASTIC FOUR products like toys, clothes, and even comic books soared, earning both the studio and Marvel Comics significant profit.
Movie grade: 0.0 to 4.0
2005 scores 3.6
2007 scores 3.8
In 2015, 20th Century Fox released another FANTASTIC FOUR (FANT4STIC) movie that is based on the original comic book series by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, but the movie went in a different direction that became a blockbuster flop.
The film starred Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Kate Mara as Susan Storm, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, Jaime Bell as Ben Grimm, Toby Kebell as Victor Von Doom, and Reg E. Cathey as Dr. Franklin Storm. The doomed flick was directed by Josh Trank and written by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg, and Josh Trank.
In this version, the team consists of super intelligent teenagers ousted by peers. They teleport to an alternate universe and during the transport, something goes horribly wrong and the four are physically altered with their newfound special abilities. They are forced to combine their powers to defend the earth from a friend turned enemy determined to rule the planet.
Reviews were less than favorable and critics weren’t at loss for words with a few walking out of theaters unable to finish watching it, and I was one of them. I did eventually finish the movie on Disney+, and it was grueling. It cost the studio $120 million to make and the studio earned only $167.9 million overall compared to the previous releases with only $56.1 million in the states. Expectations and hype were crushed and for millions of FOUR fans, this film is too unbearable to view.
Movie grade: 0.0 to 4.0
Movie scores a -0.0
Marvel Studios announced its production of a new FANTASTIC FOUR movie for release in 2025. The new cast has fans reeling with excitement. The new faces of the beloved heroes are Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. Marvel hired Matt Shakman (WandaVision) to direct with Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer set to write the screenplay.
As a seriously devoted fan of Marvel Comics and movies, I look forward to seeing the 2025 release.

Favorite History Books || The Counts of Tripoli and Lebanon in the Twelfth Century: Sons of Saint-Gilles by Kevin James Lewis ★★★★☆
The Frankish county of Tripoli was not historically important, at least in the traditional sense. Its counts won no particularly great military victories beyond the conquest of the county itself and commissioned no great works of literature. The county’s archives were sacked in an epoch long past and their contents erased from history. Only paint flaking off forgotten church walls, once-mighty fortresses gutted by the fires of modern wars, and crumbling manuscripts in distant libraries stand testament to the fact that the county and its inhabitants existed at all. Yet the study of the county and its rulers is important in that it raises a number of hitherto unasked and unanswered questions regarding the development both of the so-called ‘crusader states’ and of Lebanon and Syria more generally. Though small, the county’s history encapsulates the principal forces that shook and shaped the Latin East as a whole.
The county was not simply the product of European crusaders, but grew amid the verdant valleys of Lebanon, the forbidding heights of the Alawite mountains and the fertile plains that lay between. It was in this Syro-Lebanese context that the counts of Tripoli sought to establish their rule. In many ways, the manifold pressures on the counts were greater than those faced by other Frankish rulers. True, the threat of invasion seems to have been slighter because hostile forces preferred crossing the Jordan into the southern kingdom of Jerusalem, or the Orontes into the northern principality of Antioch, rather than over the mountains that cradled the county. However, the kings of Jerusalem and princes of Antioch did not face the same cultural complexity as in the Lebanon region, which made it all the harder for the counts to negotiate and enforce the terms of their power.
… The present work is arranged chronologically and divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on two rulers: William Jordan of Cerdanya and Bertrand of Toulouse, rival claimants to what would become the county of Tripoli after the death of the crusader Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles and Toulouse in 1105. Chapters 2 and 3 concern the reigns of Count Pons and his son Raymond II respectively. Chapters 4 and 5 both deal with a single count: Raymond III, whose reign was by far the longest, arguably the most complex and easily the best documented – not to mention most debated. Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles himself, the first self-professed ‘count of Tripoli’, does not receive his own chapter or indeed much special attention at all beyond what is absolutely necessary for the purpose of setting the scene. It has been deemed wise to omit him from the present work since most of his life was spent in the west or else participating in the First Crusade at a time when the very existence of the county of Tripoli had yet to be imagined. As such, the structure of this present work questions Jean Richard’s influential belief that the county of Tripoli was primarily the product of Raymond IV’s ‘action personnelle’. More than one person determined the county’s existence and fate.

Favorite movies and shows i've watched (and finished) in 2022
TBH, This might be one of the best years for films and shows especially fornthe BIPOC community and i'm glad i've had enough time to consume a lot of media this year. In order-is
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
This is a cultural reset. I know multiverse concepts are not new, but this is different and might be the best. The concept coincided with the storyline. The title says it all, it is everything, everywhere all at once. Not just one of the best for 2022, but of all time.
2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Felt it with my heart from start to finish. You can really see that all the cast and crew put their heart and soul on it. No need to recast T'challa because Shuri as the new Black Panther is perfect and it won't erase T'challa and Chadwick's legacy. Amazing production and soundtrack.
3. NOPE (2022)
Jordan Peele did it again. I'm glad i've watched it in the cinema because this is something that would scare more on the big screen. We are not lying when we say that this is a different Alien or UFO story.
4. Abbott Elementary (2021-)
Quinta Brunson is a genius. This sitcom is fresh and this just proves that you can make a funny content without being problematic. A comedy series that tackles relevant issues. We need more of this.
5. A league of their own (2022-)
This might be the best, most diverse and intersectional wlw or queer series so far. This and Orange is the new black. Women, lesbian and black-led. Majority of the cast and characters are queer and they don't only focus on queerness alone, but also their dreams, skills, family and friendship.
6. Wendell and Wild (2022)
One of the best art and animation style i've watched. I like how digestible it is for children. It is fun, enjoyable and doesn't shy away from real issues especially when the specific issue doesn't talked about in art and media, Also, KEY AND PEELE!
7. American Vandal (2017-2018)
This is better than most of the true crime shows on Netflix. They don't glorify the culprit while not boxing the story from a black and white perspective. Very enjoyable.
8. Ang huling cha-cha ni Anita / Anita's last cha-cha (2013)
A coming of age film abput a lesbian girl and her first love or crush. Assuring you that this is not creepy at all. This is very wholesome and reminds me of my own childhood and journey into my lesbian identity. It can be watched on Juanflix (Message me if you are outside Philippines)
9. The school for good and evil (2022)
Not a big fan of fairytale stuff, but this is a very cool concept and i'm a big sucker for great production and costume design. I love the storyline too. It reminds me of Maleficent.
From left to right
10. I, Tonya (2017)
11. King Richard (2022)
12. Liway (2018)
13. Batwoman (2019-2022)
14. Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
15. Paper girls (2022)
16. Dollface (2019-2022)
17. Betty (2020-2021)
18. Inside Job (2022)

This powerful image transcends time, and continues to go viral over 70 years later.
Helen Konek is 91 years old now. But she was 17 when photographer Richard Harrington asked to take images of her family near Arviat, Nunavut. This one is in the massive igloo her father Pipqanaaq built.
Check out her grandson Jordan Konek (Konek Productions) who shares more amazing photos of his family on Twitter! (@JordanKonek)

William Hurt in Altered States (Ken Russell, 1980)
Cast: William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, Charles Haid, Thaao Penghlis, Miguel Godreau, Dori Brenner, Peter Brandon, Charles White-Eagle, Drew Barrymore, Megan Jeffers. Screenplay: Paddy Chayefsky, based on his novel. Cinematography: Jordan Cronenweth. Production design: Richard Macdonald. Film editing: Eric Jenkins. Music: John Corigliano.
In theory, choosing Ken Russell to direct Paddy Chayefsky's screenplay based on his novel, an updating of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to the psychedelic era, had some potential. Russell is known for his flamboyant visuals and Chayefsky for his talky screenplays like the Oscar-winning Marty (Delbert Mann, 1955), The Hospital (Arthur Hiller, 1971), and Network (Sidney Lumet, 1976). Perhaps the visuals would moderate the verbosity, or vice versa. Unfortunately, Altered States wound up something of a mess -- a watchable mess, but still not a satisfying film. Chayefsky was so upset with the movie he took his name off the credits and substituted a pseudonym, Sidney Aaron. But the problem is inherent in the premise: that a potion can alter not only the mental state of the person who takes it but also the physical state -- that matter itself, the human body, can be changed by drinking a mixture of blood and hallucinogenic mushrooms. It's the stuff of fairy tales, not science. So when Dr. Jessup (William Hurt in his film debut), a respected physician researching the causes of schizophrenia, drinks the concoction, he reverts to his primordial self: a small, aggressive carnivorous simian. Good enough for a horror-movie setup, but not quite what Chayefsky had in mind when he wrote lines like these: "It is the Self, the individual mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth.... Ever since we dispensed with God we've got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life." Chayefsky's existential conundrums go missing in a welter of special effects. And ultimately, the film collapses in bathos, with a plot resolution in which love conquers all after Jessup's experiments go calamitously awry. Hurt and Blair Brown as Jessup's wife do what they can with the material, giving controlled performances, but Russell, that connoisseur of excess, lets Charles Haid overplay his role as Dr. Parrish, the supposed skeptic about Jessup's research who seems like a nutcase himself.

The Biggest Winner of the Gas Stove Fight Is Induction Ranges
Just weeks before, Richard Trumka Jr., one of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s five members, ignited a national frenzy with his stark warning to a Bloomberg News reporter that the humble gas stove—a central feature of some 40% of US kitchens—poses a serious health risk, especially to children, and might therefore be a candidate for government regulation. “Any option is on the table,” he declared. “Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Within hours of the interview’s publication, a new culture war was under way. Republican Representative Ronny Jackson of Texas dared someone to pry his stove from his “cold dead hands,” while fellow Republican Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio found traction with the pithier “God. Guns. Gas stoves.” Even as some liberals were laughing off the right-wing panic about jackbooted “gastapo,” others no doubt quietly fretted that their gleaming culinary flamethrower from Viking or Wolf was about to become next year’s bloated monument to conspicuous consumption.
The outrage cycle was sufficient to prompt an immediate diplomatic walk-back by the head of the CPSC and another by the White House. Over the following weeks, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis leaped into the fray, proposing a permanent tax deduction for gas appliances. (Never mind that the vast majority of Floridians don’t have access to residential gas.) And on the same day, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia introduced a bill called the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, which aims to bar the CPSC from implementing any rule that would so much as “substantially increase the average price” of a gas stove.
If the move to exempt a single category of home appliances from federal safety oversight seems drastic, it nonetheless carries a certain visceral appeal. “There’s this kind of understandable knee-jerk reaction, like ‘Oh, what now?’ ” concedes Matt Casale, director of environment campaigns for US Public Interest Research Group (US PIRG).

With its ample offshore natural gas resources, Israel has long dreamed of establishing itself as a major energy player in the Eastern Mediterranean, and in its more ambitious moments, even becoming a key supplier to Europe. But as the country reels from a devastating surprise attack by the Islamist militant group Hamas, the prospect of a full-blown war threatens to roil global energy markets, especially impacting the gas supply in the neighborhood—and with it, Israel’s energy ambitions.
In the wake of Hamas’s weekend attack, European natural gas and global oil futures shot up by 14 percent and 4 percent respectively, reflecting wider uncertainty and fears of an intensifying conflict. Oil shot up because there are worries, again, that Iran might close the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for nearly a third of seaborne oil. Natural gas prices went up firstly because Israel shut down a big offshore production platform in missile range of Gaza, and secondly because a pipeline in the Baltic mysteriously developed a hole, which Estonian officials attributed to “external” actors.
As fighting worsened on Monday, Israel asked Chevron to shut down production at the Tamar offshore field, which accounts for about half of Israeli domestic gas and is also a source of gas for Egypt and Jordan. There are bigger Israeli offshore fields, which are as yet unaffected, as well as smaller ones, but the onshore war is already having offshore effects.
“The future was bright for Israel, in terms of being a regional and even a global player” in the natural gas sector, said Sohbet Karbuz, an energy expert at the Mediterranean Observatory for Energy. The problem for now is that Israel is going to get gas from somewhere else, which could result in tankers full of liquified natural gas being diverted. And that means that prices are going to rise in Europe, as they already have, with natural prices hitting six-month highs on Wednesday.
“If the issue escalates, it would also be a problem for the global oil and gas market,” Karbuz said. “It will not remain regional.”
The war is already entangling other actors, with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah firing missiles at Israel amid reports that Iran backed Hamas with military training, logistic assistance, and tens of millions of dollars in financial support for weapons. In an effort to send a “message of solidarity and support,” Washington also dispatched U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Israel today, according to U.S. officials, in addition to the carrier group already in the Eastern Mediterranean and the second one coming to support it.
If the fighting expands to involve other countries, energy analysts warn of an escalating conflict that could send shock waves through global energy markets and disrupt key supply lines while inflicting a devastating human toll. Beyond impacting Israel’s natural gas industry, which in the past decade has become a pillar of the country’s economy and energy security, the war also threatens to drive up oil prices and derail international shipping in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz if Iran becomes directly involved.
“The market is watching very closely, much more because of the potential for spillover and the risks of what either a wider conflict or a shift in regional diplomacy could have for energy supplies,” said Richard Bronze, the co-founder of Energy Aspects, a London-based energy consultancy.
Israel appeared to be bracing for potential attacks on its natural gas infrastructure this week, prompting the decision by officials to order Chevron to close Tamar. On Tuesday, Chevron also announced that it had stopped exporting natural gas through a key subsea pipeline running between Israel and Egypt.
The move will likely be temporary. Robin Mills, the CEO of Qamar Energy, said he expected that Israel will likely shut down Tamar for a few days as a precautionary measure before reactivating it again. But in the long run, he added, the conflict could hamper international investment into the country—potentially slowing, or even disrupting, Israel’s future plans to build out its natural gas sector.
“Oil and gas majors are always weighing one location up against a few others when they decide where to invest,” said Jim Krane, a research fellow in energy geopolitics at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. “If there’s too much political risk, that’s one of the biggest things that frustrates investment.”
The Tamar field is the main source of Israeli natural gas exports to Egypt, and shipments to Cairo have plummeted by 20 percent in the wake of Chevron’s closure. Experts warn that a prolonged shutdown could compound political pressures on Egypt, which has already been struggling to cope with severe natural gas shortages that have triggered rolling blackouts and public frustration. Israeli gas was meant to fuel not just Egyptian industry, but also Egyptian exports of liquified natural gas.
“If you look at the falls of both of the governments [of former Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak and then [former Egyptian President Mohamed] Morsi, they happened during periods of extensive electricity blackouts in Egypt,” said Brenda Shaffer, an energy expert at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a specialist in Eastern Mediterranean energy issues. “It has a lot of political implications.”
Israel’s closure of the Tamar field reflects how critical energy infrastructure is increasingly seen as a pressure point in times of conflict, prompting governments to scramble to plug vulnerabilities. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the war has been marked by attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the Nova Khakovka dam. Energy itself is weaponized, too: Russia has destroyed all sorts of Ukrainian energy facilities, while Israel responded to the Hamas attack by severing Gaza’s water, electricity, and fuel supplies, sparking fears of a deepening humanitarian crisis.
In one of the most high-profile cases, the Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany were sabotaged last September, though it is still unclear who did it. And the Baltic has been busy with another incident: Finnish and Estonian authorities are now investigating what they believe is a likely sabotage attack on an undersea gas pipeline and communications cable between the two countries, further intensifying the uncertainty in global gas markets and the scrutiny of infrastructure defenses. On Wednesday, NATO vowed to launch a concerted response if the attack is confirmed as deliberate.
“The important thing now is to establish what happened and how this could happen,” said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. “If it is proven to be a deliberate attack on NATO-critical infrastructure, then this will be, of course, serious, but it will also be met by a united and determined response from NATO.”

Source: the San Bernardine Sun, 25 December 1978
Wild to learn about the reach of the March/Laughton film from ‘35. Also this article is so funny to me because they can no longer just say Cosette, Fantine, or Marius and assume that the reader knows who they mean so they end up saying Valjean’s ward, Valjean’s ward’s mother, and Valjean’s ward’s lover and other round about things.
Also I read in a later article that the program “drew 38 percent of the national audience, according to the Neilsen ratings, and was the week's highest-rated special.” But overall it was ninth in the week for ratings, tied with a rerun of MASH.
HOLLYWOOD — If Victor Hugo was alive today he'd be one of the most sought-after writers by television network presidents. His stories contain all the elements deemed necessary to make a film or series successful.
Most notable example is Hugo's "Les Miserables," written in 1862. Inspired by the French people seeking freedom from oppression, he wrote the now-classic tale of an impoverished man, Jean Valjean, who steals a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, and that act of survival sets off a chain reaction that includes drama, adventure, jeopardy, love, hatred and, above all, the action of the chase.
CBS has picked the middle of what is usually considered an "off-week," the period between Christmas and New Year's Day when people are too preoccupied with holiday festivities to watch TV, to show the latest version of "Les Miserables," the Norman Rosemont Production in association with ITC Entertainment which occupies all three hours of CBS' prime-time programming Wednesday.
It's CBS' gift-wrapped treat amid the rubble of reruns. The family that takes time out to relax from Yuletide activities will thoroughly enjoy a class production filmed in France and England in authentic surroundings that look as though no stone has been dislodged from its place since Hugo described its locale in his drama.
Richard Jordan portrays Valjean, whose life is to be dogged by his obsessed pursuer, Inspector Javert, played by Anthony Perkins.
As with his other revivals of the classics, "The Count of Monte Cristo," "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "The Four Feathers," all produced for both TV and theatrical release, Norman Rosemont has populated the cast with distinguished veteran actors. In his last performance, Claude Dauphin, who died recently, is seen as the kindly bishop who befriends Valjean. Sir John Gielgud is an elderly aristocrat. Celia Johnson is Valjean's housekeeper. Flora Robson is the head of a convent. Cyril Cusak is the convent's groundskeeper who provides brief refuge for the prison-escaping Valjean. Ian Holm is a greedy innkeeper. Joyce Redman is the bishop's housekeeper.
Two young British newcomers, Caroline Langrishe and Christopher Guard, were chosen to play Valjean's pretty ward and the grandson of Gielgud. And Angela Pleasance is the beggar woman who further impedes Valjean's escape by entrusting her daughter (Langrishe) to his care.
Of the many films on Hugo's classic (Jean Gavin as Valjean in the 1952 French movie; Gino Cervi in a 1943 Italian feature; Michael Rennie in a 1952 TV kinescope), the 1952 Warner Bros, movie with Frederic March and Charles Laughton is best remembered.
Who can forget Laughton's Javert, having finally cornered Valjean (March) in a Paris sewer after his three-decade pursuit, shouting "The law is the law!" although, he, like Valjean, is aged and weary of this senseless pursuit.
Did the specter of Laughton's dominating performance lurk in the background of this 1978 version?
"No, not really," replied Glenn Jordan, who directed the $3 million production. "I saw the Laughton version twice and found very little I could use. One of the few things I thought interesting and useful was that Laughton played an eccentric. So I had Tony play it eccentrically, but in an entirely different way.
"Laughton was always Laughton in the end, not the characters he portrayed. I felt it was important to be the character Hugo intended because, after all, a lot of people have never seen those other versions or ever read the book."
[Glenn] Jordan, who won an Emmy for the Ben Franklin specials on TV, among other citations for notable TV and stage productions, says that [Richard] Jordan, who first gained attention in TV's "The Captains and the Kings," and Perkins are much closer to the characters Hugo described in his lengthy novel. "I remember March and Laughton as being too old for their roles. They didn't really age as much as people would in real life, especially people who went through what they did. We assume Hugo's characters were about the same age in the beginning. The imprisonment period is 20 years, then a jump of five years passes, then it's 10 years more. [Really? March is such a young Jean Valjean]
"That's why it was important to cast young men who could age (via make-up and character change), rather than start out with older actors in those roles."
Redoing the classics has bothered some purists who prefer to let the original versions stand on their merits. But Glenn Jordan has valid reasons for remaking a classic such as this.
"The social problems of poverty and justice vs. justice, these are things, I think that are self-explanatory," he said. "But the human problems, the relations between the people are the most interesting because, it seems to me, that when you redo a classic you have to make it vivid for today's audience.
"When you see older versions of such stories they are very much versions of their time and reflect the thinking of their time, including the style in which they were done."
