Fredric March, decorated with such elaborate rags and whiskers that he had to be followed about the lot by a portable dressing room, gives a splendid performance. The strange buttery face of Charles Laughton, a mask of comedy in Ruggles of Red Gap, hardens into unforgettable lines of fixed, neurotic malice in Les Miserables.
