LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - The Heroism of Passive Obedience, LM 1.2.3 (Les Miserables 1934)

The door opened. It opened wide with a rapid movement, as though some one had given it an energetic and resolute push. A man entered. We already know the man. It was the wayfarer whom we have seen wandering about in search of shelter. He entered, advanced a step, and halted, leaving the door open behind him. He had his knapsack on his shoulders, his cudgel in his hand, a rough, audacious, weary, and violent expression in his eyes. The fire on the hearth lighted him up. He was hideous. It was a sinister apparition.

Harry Baur in Les Misérables (Raymond Bernard, 1934) Cast: Harry Baur, Charles Vanel, Florelle, Josseline Gaël, Gaby Triquet, Jean Servais, Orane Demazis, Gilberte Savary, Charles Dullin, Marguerite Moreno, Émile Genevois, Robert Vidalin, Paul Azaïs, Max Dearly, Henry Krauss. Screenplay: Raymond Bernard, André Lang, based on a novel by Victor Hugo. Cinematography: Jules Kruger. Production design: Lucien Carré, Jean Perrier. Music: Arthur Honegger. Harry Baur gives one of the great film performances in Les Misérables, beginning with a tour de force in the first installment, subtitled Tempest in a Skull, in which he plays not only the brutish convict Jean Valjean and his first assumed identity, the benevolent mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer, M. Madeleine, but also the addle-brained Champmathieu, wrongly fingered as the fugitive Valjean. Baur's Valjean is not the dashing, younger heroic figure embodied by Fredric March in Richard Boleslawski's 1935 Hollywood version or Hugh Jackman in Tom Hooper's 2012 film of the musical. March and Jackman had to work hard to suggest Valjean's hardened convict past, but Baur looks the part. He cleans up nicely, though. Raymond Bernard's version is closer to the epic Victor Hugo novel than the later adaptations, which necessitates its miniseries length: a 281-minute total run time, divided into three films. Trilogies typically sag in the middle: In Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, for example, The Two Towers (2002) is weaker than The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Return of the King (2003). But Bernard manages to give each part fairly equal heft, concentrating on Valjean's transformation in Tempest in a Skull, on the thwarted manipulations of the titular couple in The Thénardiers, and on the fight on the barricades in Freedom, Dear Freedom. This is not to say that there isn't some slackness within each installment: Bernard, like many directors who mastered their skills making silent films, doesn't seem fully at home with sound even yet; there are scenes in which the actors seem to be holding a pose a beat or two longer than necessary. And despite Arthur Honegger's distinguished score, Bernard allows some scenes that could use the "sweetening" of background music to go without it. In The Thénardiers, for example, the plot to ensnare Valjean and the ensuing fight scene could have used some tension-and-release music, but the score only begins, rather abruptly, when the lovers, Marius (Jean Servais) and Cosette (Josseline Gaël), meet. But as a totality, Les Misérables is a triumph, and apparently a little-known one, to judge by the fact that it doesn't come up as one of the top results in an IMDb search. Jules Kruger's cinematography gives an expressionist tilt to some of its scenes, and the production design, from the slummy haunts of the Thénardiers to the opulence of Gillenormand's mansion, is superb. But most of all it has Baur and a tremendous supporting cast, particularly Florelle* as a very touching Fantine, and Émile Genevois as a memorable Gavroche. Charles Vanel's Javert is not humanized sufficiently in the script, I think, so that his suicide comes as something of an anticlimax, but he gives it all the implacable menace the role allows him. But it's Baur who carries the film as impressively as he carries Servais's Marius through the sewers in the climax.

*Her full name was Odette Elisa Joséphine Marguerite Rousseau, and she was occasionally billed as Odette Florelle. It's too bad that today her screen name sounds like an air freshener.

Answering an important question: "Will this Javert bite?"

Brick: A score of times he will be tempted to fling himself upon you, to seize you and devour you, that is to say, to arrest you. So, no. Biting is not a legally sanctioned form of violence.

'25: No.

'35: Yes. Wetly, quivering.

'58: You will lose interest in the answer before learning one way or another.

'78: Yes, homoerotically.

'82: Yes, unexpectedly, like a dog that's been hit too many times for growling.

Musical (Terrence Mann, Tam Mutu, Will Swenson): Absolutely.

Musical (Philip Quast, Norm Lewis): This gentleman? Absolutely not.

'98: He'll try. Just knock him against the wall a few times to correct the behavior.

2012: He'll let you bite him.

BBC 2018: He will stare with hot longing during an uncomfortably long pause, but will not actually bite.

Dread by the Decade: Le Golem

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

English Title: The Golem Sequel to: Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (1920) Year: 1936 Genre: Historical Drama, Supernatural Horror Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country: Czechoslovakia Language: French Runtime: 1 hour 23 minutes

Director: Julien Duvivier Cinematographers: Jan Stallic, Václav Vích Editor: Jiří Slavíček Composer: Josef Kumok Writers: André-Paul Antoine, Julien Duvivier, Jiří Voskovec, Jan Werich Cast: Charles Dorat, Jany Holt, Harry Baur, Roger Karl, Germaine Aussey, Roger Duchense, Ferdinand Hart

Plot: A rabbi and his wife must reawaken a golem to save their people.

Review: Evocative and progressive for its time, Le Golem paints a painful tale of Jewish persecution and powerful resistance, even if it sometimes focuses too heavily on its villain.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Story: 3.5/5 - (Note: I haven't been able to see the first film, but this can be viewed as a standalone movie.) It expertly highlights individual prejudice and systematic violence, as well as survival in the face of it. Rachel, the rabbi's wife, and Rudolph, the king, are both especially well written, though a bit too much time is spent with the latter.

Performances: 4.5/5 - Everyone is excellent, but Holt is especially compelling as the steadfast Rachel. Baur also does a great job playing a brutal tyrant who is simultaneously deeply pathetic.

Cinematography: 4/5 - Some lovely long distance shots and creative angles.

Editing: 3/5 - A few premature cuts.

Music: 3.5/5

Effects: 3/5 - The destruction the golem unleashes looks solid, though some effects are subpar for the time.

Sets: 4.5/5 - Fantastic, large, and densely populated.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3.5/5 - The make-up for Hart's golem is pretty decent and stone-like, and the costuming is quite good.

Trigger Warnings:

Moderate violence

Torture (brief; not graphic)

Extreme antisemitism (critiqued by the film)

Attempted ethnic cleansing (critiqued by the film)

Gendered violence

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Fantine Happy, LM 1.8.2 ( Les Miserables 1934)

He had released Fantine’s hand. He listened to her words as one listens to the sighing of the breeze, with his eyes on the ground, his mind absorbed in reflection which had no bottom. All at once she ceased speaking, and this caused him to raise his head mechanically. Fantine had become terrible.

She no longer spoke, she no longer breathed; she had raised herself to a sitting posture, her thin shoulder emerged from her chemise; her face, which had been radiant but a moment before, was ghastly, and she seemed to have fixed her eyes, rendered large with terror, on something alarming at the other extremity of the room.

“Good God!” he exclaimed; “what ails you, Fantine?”

She made no reply; she did not remove her eyes from the object which she seemed to see. She removed one hand from his arm, and with the other made him a sign to look behind him.

He turned, and beheld Javert.

Program for Les Misérables: Une Tempête Sous Un Crane (1934) at the Paramount Theater, 2 Boulevard des Capucines, Paris. On the cover is Harry Baur as Jean Valjean, drawn by David Olère. More on Olère and Baur below the cut [tw: discussion of the Holocaust]

Olère was a Polish Jew who immigrated to France and became a French citizen. This image is a good example of the pre-war art he made while employed by Paramount. However, he was arrested in 1943 and sent to Auschwitz, where he was made to work in the Sonderkommando due to his skills as an artist and his fluency in several languages. Today he is remembered for his drawings of Auschwitz, made both during his imprisonment and after, which provide documentary information about the death camp and how it operated.

With regards to Baur, he was one of French cinema's great stars and his film career was initially able to continue despite the war. However, due to his pro-French statements and suspicions that he was Jewish, he and his wife Rika Radifé were arrested by the Gestapo in 1942 (Radifé, who was Jewish, was accused of espionage). Baur was imprisoned for four months and shortly after his release, he died under suspicious circumstances. So while this is a beautiful piece of Les Mis memorabilia, it has very sad associations.
