Hlodoh 49S55 gee, I wish we could have done that, or I wish we hdd those sets He did, however, read the book in French, then read the abridged English translation. After reading the novel and a biography of Hugo by Andre Majurois, he went to New York to talk to a group of ex-convicts.

"I found every one of the ex-convicts shared a common experience with Jean Valjean," he said. "To each there came a time when everything crystalizes in their lives. A moment of epiphany. They must change their heads and live within society or remain criminals." "'Captains and the Kings' was the turning point. I don't even know how I got the part.

They called me up and I said okay. My face wasn't known to the public until then." Hugo classic novel scare you away. It's a robust, romantic adven ture in the Errol Flynn tradition.

THOUSANDS OF cessful escape attempts add another 15 years to his sentence.

Anthony Perkins is Inspector Javert, head of the prison guards, a martinet of such unswerving devotion to duty that he sees good and evil only as absolutes. When Valjean finally does escape, you know that this man will pursue him to the gates of hell and beyond. Valjean, in an emotional encounter with a kindly bishop, renounces evil, changes his name, and becomes a prosperous businessman and mayor of a small French village. Then, one day Inspector Javert arrives as the new police chief. Valjean is recognized and flees.

Javert pursues him relentlessly, to Paris, to a convent; to the barricades of a revolt, and finally into the sewers under Paris where they at last meet face to face again. If this sounds like "The Fugitive" and other TV series of the past, you're right. "Les Miserables" is the acknowledged great-granddaddy of all such stories. "Les Miserables," the 12th film adaptation of the classic, airs Wednesday night on CBS. The three-hour movie also stars Cyril Cusack, Claude Dauphin, John Gielgud, Ian Holm, Celia Johnson, Joyce Redman, and Angela Pleasance.
