Frankenstein Adaptation Review #1: Frankenstein (1910)

Masterpost of my Frankenstein Adaptation reviews

Title: Frankenstein

Year: 1910

Medium: Film

Director: J. Searle Dawley

Produced by: Edison Studios [edit: I went back to the wiki page and realized that this film was produced by the Thomas Edison. Wild.]

Synopsis

Kicking off my adaptation reviews with the very first of its kind! This 13-minute silent film is the first-ever film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel. Admittedly, I know very little about turn of the century film/silent film, so my analysis might be missing some added context (film students please pardon my ignorance on the subject). Fun fact, because this film is over a hundred years old and in the public domain, you can watch it at the Library of Congress.

Full review under the cut!

Grading

Faithfulness to the Source Material

Despite its very short run-time, and it's being silent, the film actually does a really good job of summarizing the broad strokes of the story. And it is self-aware of this fact, the first slide of the film calls itself “a liberal adaptation” of the novel. So being “liberal”, they chose to focus only on Victor’s perspective of the story, which means we do miss out on seeing how a turn of the century film would attempt to create an arctic environment or how they would adapt the Creature’s story. But in general they stay very true to Victor’s story. They make him an actual young, college-student, ambitious in the art of science. Victor and Elizabeth’s relationship is very wholesome so watch (as one might expect of a film from this period.) However, the ending does choose to stray from the original. After Elizabeth meets the Creature on her and Victor’s wedding night, the creature does not actually kill Elizabeth, but flees instead. Victor chases his Creature, but ultimately loses him in a very vague yet symbolic manner through a mirror (they got that symbolism y’all.) I’d like to point out that not one single person dies in this version, but conversely, there is a lot of fainting. And even without all of the death, Victor is still horrified by his creation and the general themes still translate here. Total Category Score: 8/10 points

Production Design

I was genuinely very impressed with how this film was designed. There were a ton of really impressive scenic painting elements, like giant wooden doors in Victor’s laboratory, or the beautiful countryside outside the window of his family’s home. Obviously films of this time period had fewer resources to work with, but they were very strategic in how many individual settings they used and I think it really paid off. My absolute favorite setting was Victor’s study with the giant mirror. The mirror was genuinely the star of the show, I'm not even joking. They used it to create some really impressive reveals with the creature, and used it again for his symbolic escape at the end. My other favorite was the giant vat of acid that Victor uses to create the creature. I love that he is literally just ladling acid from a bowl into a wooden tub, with a full human skeleton just vibing in a chair next to him (absolutely camp.) At this point I must address the creature effects, because I think they were genuinely very smart. The scene of the creature taking form was genuinely spooky and honestly a bit horrifying. Both because of how they created this melted shape of a being that literally waves hello at Victor, but also because of how long the scene drags out this creepy imagery. When the creature comes into full form, he is truly a sight to behold. Being the first to create Frankenstein’s Creature on film, one can absolutely see where future adaptations took inspiration from it (namely the elongated forehead and tattered clothing.) He was also much more hairy than I expected him to be, which is an interesting choice considering he was reverse-melted into being in an acid bath. Extremely hairy is not how I generally imagine the creature to be, but it absolutely added to the monster factor in this version. My last point on production design is that I am obsessed with Victor’s striped wedding trousers. It is hard to judge period accuracy here because the book is set in an undisclosed period in the 18th century, with the book being published in the early 19th century. This interpretation seems to have gone in a late 18th century/early 19th century direction, and although not perfectly accurate, it got the job done and was generally effective in alluding to the setting of the book. Total Category Score: 8/10 points

Entertainment value

Silent films are obviously kind of goofy when watched with modern eyes, and maybe it’s my individual eagerness to watch these adaptations, but I did find myself actually entertained. A few scenes did drag a bit, and I probably won’t find myself re-watching this film anytime soon, but it was also not the worst film to watch in the name of research. I’d recommend giving it a go if you’re also Frankenstein obsessed like myself. Total Category Score: 6/10 points

Bonus Points

Character(s) included/mentioned (1 point each): - Robert Walton and/or Henry Clerval: no. - The DeLacey Family: no. - Justine Moritz: no. - William and/or Ernest Frankenstein: no? Victor(y) points (1 point each): - Is Victor aged 18-26 years old: technically, yes. - Is Victor a college dropout: also technically yes. - Does Victor have an accent that is not American or British: n/a because it's a silent film. Miscellaneous (1 point each): -Setting is primarily in Switzerland: unknown - Are there homoerotic undertones: no, but Victor’s mannerisms were a bit flamboyant and I was eating it up. - Does the Creature have intelligence: maybe, but I'm interpreting yes. Total Category Score: 3/10 points

Final Score: 25/40 points

OFRA HARNOY

ELGAR & LALO CELLO CONCERTOS

La grabación inédita de 1996 del concierto para violonchelo de Elgar se estrena a través de Sony Classical. Ya disponible.

Escúchalo AQUÍ

Cuando la chelista Ofra Harnoy entró en los famosos Estudios Abbey Road de Londres en 1996 para grabar el Concierto para violonchelo en mi menor, Op. 85 de Edward Elgar, nunca imaginó que tendría que esperar 27 años para la publicación de la grabación. Ya disponible, el nuevo álbum de Sony Classical incluye también una reedición de la grabación de Harnoy del Concierto para violonchelo en re menor del compositor francés Edouard Lalo, realizada en 1995 con el fallecido Antonio de Almeida al frente de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Bournemouth.

La grabación de Elgar -con George Pehlivanian al frente de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Londres- se completó en sus sesiones de Abbey Road de 1996. Sin embargo, nunca se editó ni se publicó, casi desapareció. Las repetidas indagaciones y búsquedas a lo largo de los años no dieron resultado, hasta que en 2022 se descubrieron por fin las cintas maestras en el almacén de un antiguo socio.

Afortunadamente, se conservaron notas de las sesiones, y el productor original de la grabación de Elgar, Andrew Keener, pudo asesorar a Mike Herriott, marido y mánager de Harnoy, que editó las cintas en su propio estudio en casa. Ron Searles, de Red Maple Sound, en Toronto, masterizó la edición final, además de remasterizar la grabación de Lalo, utilizando la última tecnología Dolby Atmos.

Keener recuerda lo que sintió entonces con el concierto de Elgar. Las sesiones en el legendario Estudio 1 de Abbey Road fueron productivas y agradables, frescas y desinhibidas. Espero que disfrutéis del resultado".

En el último medio siglo, el Concierto para violonchelo de Elgar se ha erigido como una de las obras maestras de la música romántica tardía para violonchelo y orquesta, y por fin constituye una incorporación esencial al catálogo de grabaciones de Ofra Harnoy. Poco después de las sesiones de Abbey Road de 1996, habló con la International Cello Society, en una entrevista. "Recientemente grabé el Concierto de Elgar con la Filarmónica de Londres", dijo Harnoy en aquel momento. "Estoy muy emocionada porque Elgar es una de esas piezas que me dejan sin palabras; siempre acabo llorando. Es una pieza tan hermosa".

Elgar, sensible y profundamente espiritual, era un hombre entrado en años, devastado por la brutalidad de la Primera Guerra Mundial y consciente de su propia mortalidad, cuando se inspiró para escribir el concierto en 1919. Su obra era transformadora, aunque el público de la época no estuviera preparado para escucharlo. Curiosamente, han sido las mujeres virtuosas del violonchelo quienes con más elocuencia lo han mantenido en el repertorio. La violonchelista británica Beatrice Harrison triunfó con el concierto en las primeras interpretaciones de éxito tras su problemático estreno, y llegó a grabarlo dos veces con el compositor al frente. En los años siguientes, la violonchelista canadiense Zara Nelsova creyó en el concierto tan plenamente que lo interpretó en directo e incluso en una reducción para violonchelo y piano.

Pero fue la vibrante y sentida grabación en estéreo realizada por la joven Jacqueline du Pré a mediados de la década de 1960 la que despertó un nuevo y perdurable interés por la obra. Inspiró a una joven Ofra Harnoy, que la conoció y tocó para ella en una clase magistral cerca del final de la trágicamente breve vida de du Pré. Este nuevo lanzamiento confirmará el lugar de Harnoy en el legado distintivo del concierto de Elgar.

La grabación de Lalo de 1995 también procede de los años en que la violonchelista fue artista exclusiva del sello RCA Victor Red Seal/BMG Classics, que ahora forma parte de Sony Classical. En su lanzamiento, el crítico de Gramophone señaló que, en el movimiento de apertura de Lalo, la grabación "garantiza que el recitativo de la solista, de una suavidad desarmante, se proyecta con naturalidad y domestica fácilmente las vehementes protestas orquestales", y después alaba cómo "la introducción solista del final, finamente graduada y elocuentemente fraseada, muestra de nuevo a Harnoy en su momento más imaginativo".

Bonsoir, ou bonjour, Monsieur Saulter !

Je sais que vous êtes très attaché à l'esthétique des années 1920... du coup, je voulais savoir s'il y avait des films de cette période que vous avez vu, et que vous appréciez particulièrement ! :D Je pensais moi-même m'y pencher...

@carwyn-gibson

Bonsoir, Carwyn !

Je suis navré du temps qu'il m'a fallu pour répondre à cette question, ma foi tout à fait passionnante. Vois-tu, je me suis peut-être laissé emporté... ! Le début du vingtième siècle est très riche en cinéma, comme tu peux t'en douter. En effet, j'ai eu l'occasion de regarder beaucoup de films de cette époque, principalement entre 1910 et 1920. Le Cinéma, à cette époque, est une discipline encore naissante, mais qui recèle déjà de cette qualité artistique que nous lui connaissons. Je pourrais vous parler de Georges Méliès, bien sûr, et l'exemple surprenant de son Cendrillon de 1899, bien moins connu que son Voyage sur la Lune, mais parfaitement remarquable malgré tout. Je pourrais vous parler d'Alice Guy, la toute première réalisatrice de l'histoire du cinéma, qui, par ses reconstitutions de célèbres tableaux, pourrait être tracée comme inauguratrice du genre des péplums. Je pourrais vous parler de Victorin Jasset, Louis Gasnier, Louis Delluc... de beaucoup de personnes, sommes toutes, et peut-être que cela sera le sujet d'un autre poste. Aujourd'hui, pourtant, j'aimerai vous parler d'un réalisateur, et, plus particulièrement, de l'une de ses œuvres.

Laissez moi vous présenter J. Searle Dawley.

Mr. Dawley était un réalisateur et scénariste américain, qui me semble relativement méconnu. Et l'oeuvre en question, Carwyn, devrait vous être familière, puisque j'ai pu constaté que vous aviez récemment lu le roman duquel elle est adapté : il s'agit de son Frankenstein de 1910. Et vous avez beaucoup de chance : le film, d'une durée de treize minutes environ, se trouve sur YouTube ; je vous en fourni le lien.

youtube

C'est une œuvre que j'affectionne particulièrement, et, si vous m'en permettez l'indulgence, j'aimerai vous faire un petit commentaire dessus ; il n'y a pas que le cinéma moderne qui mérite d'être décortiqué. Il s'agit, en effet, de la toute première adaptation du roman de Mary Shelley, et, s'il diffère à bien des égards du roman, il en retient certains des thèmes les plus passionnants.

L'ubris de Victor Frankenstein.

Bien sûr, vous n'êtes pas sans savoir que l'un des nœuds principaux du roman réside dans la folie créatrice de son héros, le Docteur Victor Frankenstein ; et par là-même, son ubris, sa volonté à défier les lois naturelles, défier l'ordre des choses, défier Dieu lui-même en se prétendant Le remplacer. C'est un élément que nous retrouvons, par ailleurs, dans toutes les adaptions- l'acte sacrilège de vouloir dépasser la loi des choses, de remplacer la mort par une vie éternelle, voir pire : de créer soit même la vie.

Voyez donc la première apparition de Frankenstein, sur l'image que je vous offre. Vous pouvez remarquer, bien sûr, que la mise en scène est particulièrement parlante dans ce genre d'œuvre ; chaque détail y est millimétré. Le voici présenté sur un trône, entouré de squelettes, jouant avec des crânes : une représentation très baroque, très excessive, et très shakespearienne- la référence à Hamlet ne vous aura certainement pas échappée. Le positionnement du personnage est parlant, également. Sur la gauche de l'image se trouve le squelette, sur la droite, le vivant : l'ordre des choses est bouleversée, la mort se présente avant la vie, ou la vie se propose comme une continuation de la mort. L'atelier du Docteur a tout de celui d'un apprenti sorcier. Le voilà bien jouasse, sur son trône, l'établi couvert de morceau humain, d'une tête grotesque. Voilà donc, bien sûr, le tableau d'un savant fou- et vous remarquerez que le terme "tableau" est toujours particulièrement parlant, à cette époque. J'y reviendrais.

"The most perfect human being that the world as yet to known", déclare le Docteur. Le voici, l'ubris, l'égo créateur : la folle volonté de vouloir dépasser le travail de Dieu. Vous vous doutez bien qu'à l'époque, et plus encore à celle de Mary Shelley, c'était là un bien grave blasphème à avancer. Frankenstein, le Prométhée Moderne, qui joue a créé l'homme de sa propre glaise, est ici parfaitement représenté, selon moi- du moins, dans la première partie de ce film : son rôle créateur, en effet, se construit comme une parodie de celui de Dieu.

Prenez l'exemple du processus de création de la créature, à partir de 2m11. "I shall create into life", nous annonce le panneau. Le terme "into" est particulièrement parlant : il s'agit de faire surgir la vie depuis le néant, une image de la création ex-nihilo observée dans la génèse, et qu'on retrouve, seulement dans cette adaptation, dans la fabrication de la créature. Voyez comme elle se forme, petit à petit, morceau par morceau, sans intervention extérieure, comme sous l'influence d'une forme de magie dénaturée ! Vous pouvez également noté l'omniprésence du rouge, qui n'est que très rarement une couleur positive, et des flammes qui l'entourent (le feu étant évidemment un motif récurrent dans le mythe de Frankenstein : à l'image de Prométhée, c'est celui qui donne la vie, tout en restant destructeur, dangereux, à craindre- le feu étant lui-même craint par la créature, notamment dans l'adaptation de 1931 par James Whales).

Bien sûr, une fois la créature formée, le docteur fuit devant son œuvre macabre, cette parodie de vie ; et, détail intéressant, pour revenir sur cette idée de tableau- voyez comme la mise en scène est, une fois de plus, extrêmement parlante.

A votre gauche, l'extrait du film, baigné dans sa couleur écarlate ; de l'autre, Le Cauchemar de Füssli, peint au XVIIIème siècle. Nul besoin de longue déclaration pour que la cr��ature apparaisse comme ce qu'elle est : un cauchemar d'un autre monde.

La deuxième partie du film, dès lors, dévie grandement du roman ; mais elle conserve un élément particulièrement important, particulièrement central : le dédoublement du monstre, le renversement entre créateur et créature.

Ambiguïté du monstre : le créateur qui se perd dans sa création.

"Il n'y a pas qu'un seul monstre, dans mon récit, mais deux", écrit Mary Shelley. Je vais m'octroyer une brève, très brève, et très superficielle analyse de ce point précis dans le roman. La construction des rôles de Frankenstein et de sa créature sont similaires, et peut-être l'avez vous remarqué. Leur première apparition, dans le journal de bord du capitaine, est identique : tout deux apparaissent sur leurs traîneaux, apparitions surprenantes et mystérieuses. Nous pouvons également souligner l'aspect même du Docteur, sa dégradation physique qui accompagne la folie de sa fièvre créatrice ; au fur et à mesure que le corps de la créature se forme, le sien se dégrade. Tout deux, également, sont plongés dans la folie, la solitude. Finalement, le créateur se trouve dépassé par sa création. "Vous êtes mon créateur," dira d'ailleurs la créature, "mais je suis votre maître." Une construction en miroir, donc. Et savez vous où nous retrouvons, assez littéralement, un miroir ? :D

Et oui ! Dans l'adaptation de Mr. Dawley !

Voyez la scène qui commence à 7 minutes 45. Voyez comment s'opère le jeu du miroir. Le monstre, dans un premier temps, est dans la pièce, Frankenstein apparaît dans le miroir ; et puis, inversement ! Le monstre se retrouve dans le miroir, Frankenstein, dans la pièce. La frontière est toujours présente, mais bien mince, puisque les rôles sont interchangeables, tant et si bien que le monstre finit par être, littéralement, le reflet de Frankenstein. Tout le cœur et la morale de ce film réside dans cette ambiguïté là : dans la relation entre l'humain et son double "monstrueux". Ici, la créature n'est plus seulement une création blasphématique et monstrueuse. Elle est la représentation du "mal" caché en l'homme, de son inconscient, de sa difformité. En cela, bien sûr, la fin dévie du roman d'origine.

"The monster is overcomed by love and disappears." La fin, peut-être, peut sembler décevante, en ce qu'elle est bien plus optimiste que celle de Mary Shelley : c'est que le message de l'oeuvre est différent. Ici, l'homme surpasse ses démons, par le biais de valeurs (très chrétiennes, par ailleurs, mais je ne compte pas me lancer plus en avant dans un débat sur le lien qu'entretient le mythe de Frankenstein avec la religion) positives. En treize minutes seulement, donc, ce film de 1910 parvient à raconter une histoire tout à fait passionnante, et sans conteste riche ; pas seulement au travers de ses dialogues -inexistants, sans les panneaux- mais également, et surtout, par le soin apporté à sa mise en scène.

Et... Comme je vous l'avais dit, je me suis laissé emporté ! Il faut dire que le sujet est passionnant, et j'aurais encore beaucoup à dire. J'espère vous avoir fait découvrir quelque chose d'intéressant. N'hésitez pas à me dire si ce genre de post vous intéresse - vous, Carwyn, ou peut-être d'autres personnes. Je vous souhaite en tout cas une excellente soirée ;)

Includes the encore performance featuring 17 Valjeans from various productions. Les Misérables - 25th Anniversary Concert Live At The O2 - October 3, 2010 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alfie Boe (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Nick Jonas (Marius), Samantha Barks (Éponine), Ramin Karimloo (Enjolras), Matt Lucas (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Robert Madge (Gavroche), Mia Jenkins (Little Cosette), Earl Carpenter (The Bishop), Hadley Fraser (Grantaire), Jonathan Williams (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Killian Donnelly (Courfeyrac), Alistair Brammer (Jean Prouvaire), Jamie Muscato (Joly), Edward Baruwa (Lesgles), Phil Snowden (Brujon), Stephen Tate (Babet), Tony Timberlake (Claquesous), Keith Burns (Montparnasse), Jeff Nicholson (Factory Foreman), Grainne Renihan (Factory Girl), Valda Aviks (Crone), Cameron Blakely (Bamatabois), Peter Polycarpou (Pimp) Les Misérables - Asia Tour - June 2, 2016 (Highlights) FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Simon Gleeson (Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Patrice Tipoki (Fantine), Emily Langridge (Cosette), Paul Wilkins (Marius), Kerrie Anne Greenland (Éponine), Chris Durling (Enjolras), David McDonald (Thénardier), Jennifer Butt (Madame Thénardier), Austyn Myers (Gavroche), Rachel Schier (Little Cosette) NOTES: On My Own, Upon These Stones, Bring Him Home and two angles of the same One Day More Les Misérables - Dallas - August 2, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT: VOB (no smalls) (SD) CAST: Nehal Joshi (Jean Valjean), Edward Watts (Javert), Allison Blackwell (Fantine), Dorcas Leung (Cosette), Justin Keyes (Marius), Elizabeth Judd (Éponine), John Campione (Enjolras), Steven Michael Walters (Thénardier), Christia Mantzke (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: A great capture of Dallas Theatre Center’s inventively staged production of Les Miserables. The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Duisburg - 1996 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT: MP4 (SD) CAST: Jerzy Jeszke (Jean Valjean), Hardy Rudolz (Javert), Cornelia Drese (Fantine), Deborah Dutcher (Cosette), Felix Martin (Marius), Sanni Luis (Éponine), Martin Berger (Enjolras), Tom Zahner (Thénardier), Anne Welte (Madame Thénardier), Willi Welp (The Bishop) Les Misérables - Dutch Revival - Spring, 2008 FORMAT: MP4 (SD) CAST: René van Kooten (Jean Valjean), Wim van den Driessche (Javert), Nurlaila Karim (Fantine), Suzan Seegers (Cosette), Jamai Loman (Marius), Céline Purcell (Éponine), Freek Bartels (Enjolras), Gerben Grimmius (u/s Thénardier), Marjolein Algera (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Complete show, Amateur capture A, Double dvd Les Misérables - Fifth National Tour - October 5, 2018 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Nick Cartell (Jean Valjean), Josh Davis (Javert), Mary Kate Moore (Fantine), Jillian Butler (Cosette), Joshua Grosso (Marius), Paige Smallwood (Éponine), Matt Shingledecker (Enjolras), J Anthony Crane (Thénardier), Allison Guinn (Madame Thénardier), Sam Middleton (Gavroche), Cate Elefante (u/s Little Cosette), Matt Moisey (Grantaire), Monte J Howell (Combeferre), Tim Quartier (s/w Feuilly), Christopher Viljoen (Courfeyrac), Patrick Rooney (Jean Prouvaire), Gabriel Sidney Brown (Joly), Andrew Maughan (Lesgles), Felipe Barbosa Bombonato (Babet), John Ambrosino (Claquesous), Steve Czarnecki (Factory Foreman), Ashley Dawn Mortensen (Factory Girl), John Ambrosino (Bamatabois) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - November 11, 2006 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Victor Hawks (u/s Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Aaron Lazar (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche), Drew Sarich (Grantaire) NOTES: A nice capture here of Victor as Valjean. The capture is a little on the dark side, but still enjoyable. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - February 17, 2007 FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Drew Sarich (u/s Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche) NOTES: A really nice video of the first broadway revival. Widescreen. Cleaned up nicely in remastering. And it has Sarich. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - May 12, 2007 (Matinee) (jstarz's master) FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Drew Sarich (u/s Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Mandy Bruno (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Stephen Trafton (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Filmed in widescreen (though encoded in 4:3, so there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen), this is a nice capture of some of the new cast members. Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - June 1, 2007 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Ben Davis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Marissa McGowan (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - August 24, 2007 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Drew Sarich (Jean Valjean), Robert Hunt (Javert), Nikki Renée Daniels (u/s Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Megan McGinnis (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Chip Zien (Thénardier), Becca Ayers (u/s Madame Thénardier), Brian D'Addario (Gavroche) NOTES: Some nice closeups/mediums. A nice capture of the new cast. Capture can be dark at times, but mostly in the darker scenes. Includes a technical difficulty when the Barricades first come out, the show is stopped and includes the announcement.. A- Les Misérables - Fourth UK & Ireland Tour - January, 2019 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Killian Donnelly (Jean Valjean), Nic Greenshields (Javert), Katie Hall (Fantine), Bronwen Hanson (Cosette), Harry Apps (Marius), Tegan Bannister (Éponine), Will Richardson (Enjolras), Martin Ball (Thénardier), Sophie-Louise Dann (Madame Thénardier) Les Misérables - Hollywood Bowl - August 9, 2008 FORMAT: WMV (HD) CAST: J Mark McVey (Jean Valjean), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Javert), Melora Hardin (Fantine), Michele Maika (Cosette), John Lloyd Young (Marius), Lea Michele (Éponine), Tom Lowe (Enjolras), Sage Ryan (Gavroche) NOTES: J. Mark McVey, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lea Michele, Melora Hardin, John Lloyd Young, Michele Maika, Michael McCormick, Tom Lowe, Ruth Williamson. Juni's master filmed in widescreen and can be a little shakey at times in tight zooms. Nice to see the audience version compared to the Proshot one. A- Les Misérables - Japan - 1997

FORMAT: video | TRADER'S NOTES: Looking for a replacement link CAST: Yuichiro Yamaguchi (Jean Valjean), Mayo Kawasaki (Javert), Hiromi Iwasaki (Fantine), Yu Hayami (Cosette), Kazukata Ishii (Marius), Minako Honda (Éponine), Kojiro Oka (Enjolras), Yukio Yamagata (Thénardier), Bibari Maeda (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Yamaguchi’s first of fourteen year as Valjean.

Les Misérables - Paris - 1991 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Robert Marien (Jean Valjean), Patrick Rocca (Javert), Marie Zamora (Cosette), Jérôme Pradon (Marius), Stéphanie Martin (Éponine), Julien Combey (Enjolras), Laurent Gendron (Thénardier), Marie-France Roussel (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Act 1 + finale of act 2. This is 100% NOT Louise Pitre playing Fantine Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 1, 2014 (Preview) (Highlights) (where is your red schaaaf's master) FORMAT: MOV (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Gaten Matarazzo (Gavroche) NOTES: First preview. It includes most of the show. Loud excited audience. Blind shot from stage right third row, with no zooms. Keala Settle sprained her ankle at some point between The Robbery and One Day More, resulting in her not being in One Day More and using a cane during Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - March 8, 2014 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT: MP4 (SD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), Will Swenson (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche) NOTES: Audience was full of excitement! The last 20 seconds are missing from the very end due to battery issues Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - August 21, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Nathaniel Hackmann (u/s Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Caissie Levy (Fantine), Samantha Hill (Cosette), Andy Mientus (Marius), Nikki M James (Éponine), Kyle Scatliffe (Enjolras), Cliff Saunders (Thénardier), Keala Settle (Madame Thénardier), Joshua Colley (Gavroche), Mia Sinclair Jenness (Little Cosette), Angeli Negron (Young Éponine), Adam Monley (The Bishop) NOTES: A fantastic capture of this lavish production. It’s refreshing to see different faces in the lead roles, and both Nathaniel and Earl carry the show well. Nathaniel’s vocals are powerful and he has a great rapport with Caissie and Samantha. A lovely capture overall with no obstruction. Look Down is mostly blacked out and there are a couple quick dropouts during The Bishop scene and Lovely Ladies, but the show is otherwise fully intact. There is also some washout in high contrast wide shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Second Broadway Revival - July 1, 2015 FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean), John Rapson (u/s Javert), Erika Henningsen (Fantine), Melissa Mitchell (u/s Cosette), Chris McCarrell (Marius), Brennyn Lark (Éponine), Wallace Smith (Enjolras), Gavin Lee (Thénardier), Rachel Izen (Madame Thénardier), Sam Chuck (Gavroche), Joe Spieldenner (Grantaire), Weston Wells Olson (s/w Combeferre) NOTES: Act I begins at "The Runaway Cart" and nearly complete Act II.

First time in history two same productions of a major musical played in the same city. Les Misérables - West End - May 9, 1987 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT: MP4 (SD) CAST: Martin Smith (u/s Jean Valjean), Clive Carter (Javert), Kathleen Rowe McAllen (Fantine), Jacinta Mulcahy (Cosette), Maurice Clarke (u/s Marius), Jayne Draper (Éponine), Martin George (Enjolras), David Delve (Thénardier), Myra Sand (Madame Thénardier), Cameron Stewart (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Commonly mistaken as December 28, 1988! Martin Smith was part of the West End cast for 6 months starting December 1986, and the non-circulated first-generation DVD labels the date as 1987/05/09. Les Misérables - West End - December 28, 1991 (House-Cam's master) FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Stig Rossen (Jean Valjean), Paul Leonard (Javert), Jenna Russell (Fantine), Sarah Jane Hassell (Cosette), Daryll Winslow (Marius), Meredith Braun (Éponine), Mike Sterling (u/s Enjolras), David Hampshire (u/s The Bishop), Amanda Dainty (u/s Factory Girl) NOTES: Black and white. Audio is nice and clear. A more rare color version does exist.

He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies. Wonderful performances from the entire cast but especially then soon-to-be-Elphaba Kerry Ellis. Les Misérables - West End - September 19, 2013 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), James Gant (u/s Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Ilan Galkoff (Gavroche), Caoimhe Judd (Little Cosette) Les Misérables - West End - June 14, 2014 FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Daniel Koek (Jean Valjean), Tam Mutu (Javert), Na-Young Jeon (Fantine), Samantha Dorsey (Cosette), Dougie Carter (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Anton Zetterholm (Enjolras), Cameron Blakely (Thénardier), Wendy Ferguson (Madame Thénardier), Carl Mullaney (Grantaire) NOTES: Final performance of the 2013/14 cast Les Misérables - West End - July 9, 2015 (Highlights) (musicalmania123's master) FORMAT: MP4 (HD) CAST: Peter Lockyer (Jean Valjean), Jeremy Secomb (Javert), Rachelle Ann Go (Fantine), Zoe Doano (Cosette), Rob Houchen (Marius), Carrie Hope Fletcher (Éponine), Bradley Jaden (Enjolras), Phil Daniels (Thénardier), Katy Secombe (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Highlights only.

“Communists Reject Funds to Pay Fines,” Toronto Globe. March 7, 1931. Page 16. ---- Two Elect to Stay in Jail, Though Friends Proffer Aid --- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Windsor, March 6. - George Wanden, and Thomas E. Reycraft, two of four self-admitted Communists, who were fined in Windsor Police Court today for breaking a city by-law governing parades, were released this afternoon when a number of their followers paid their fines. Wanden and Reycraft were convicted of participating on Feb. 25 in a parade which had not been sanctioned by Chief Wigle. All four said that they would rather go to jail ‘than enrich the Government or the City Treasury.’ Accordingly,, they were locked up. Their followers met and collected sufficient money to pay the fines of all. The meeting also passed a resolution stating that it was advisable that the fines of all four should be paid. Reycraft and Wanden, who are married men, ave permission to have their fines paid. Harry Binder and Shaw decided to ignore their follower’s request and to remain in jail.

Ten others were allowed to go on suspended sentence. They are: John Isawuk, William Baulanicki, Louis Beren, Mike Hyrayk, Andy Stritof, Arthur Searles, Human Beren, Fred Matychuck, Paul Hadgulow, and James Olesenk.

Although the evidence against all was of the same nature, the four men pleaded not guilty, saying that they wished to be heard. Wide latitude was granted the accused by Magistrate Brodie. All four said that the parade was formed as part of a world-wide demonstration that had been called by the Communist Internationale.

Convicted in Sudbury. Sudbury, March 6. - Eight men facing charges of unlawful assembly in connection with the Communist demonstration here on Feb. 25 last, this afternoon were found guilty and remanded until tomorrow for sentence. Victor Krusluk, convicted of assaulting Sergeant Campeau by striking him and kicking him, was also remanded one day for sentence. John Holanchuck, charged with obstructing the police, was found guilty, and will, likewise, receive sentence tomorrow.
