...Spectacular sweep, romantic grandeur, narrative richness, an improbably happy, morally instructive ending -- 'Les Miserables' has all the old-fashioned, totally unfashionable virtues," says TIME's Richard Schickel. Claude Lelouch's film, the seventh screen adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel, relocates to the 20th century, mostly during World War II. "The film is full of absurd coincidences, broadly archetypal characters and situations (yes, a Nazi thumps out a piano concerto while a prisoner is being tortured nearby), and a sentimentality that verges at times on the woozy," says Schickel.

They notice him, the sectarian haters who suck whiskey and resentment in Belfast's bars, and they accord respect. Victor Kelly is a young swaggerer, a gifted thug with the flash and cold nerve to force a terrified man of the opposing tribe to his knees, then cut his throat with a filleting knife. Kelly's bunch are Protestants, and the enemy tribe Catholics, though it matters not a Mass or a damn because pure enmity on both sides, cherished and nurtured from childhood, now and forevermore, is the city's religion...
