After they leave the Thénardiers, the film jumps to Cosette's sixteenth birthday. Valjean and Cosette's stay at the Gorbeau House, their dodging of Javert and their arrival at the Petit-Picpus convent are omitted.Valjean's re-arrest after his escape from Montreuil's prison and escape from the "Orion" are omitted.Not Fantine's last, but her first evening with Tholomyès is shown.Valjean is released after having saved a house from caving in, not because his time is served.
Javert is presented as considerably less sympathetic than in the book, largely portraying him as the pinnacle of the cruelty in 19th century France.The film is, for the most part, faithful to the original novel, however, there are some differences: Harry Baur as Jean Valjean & Champmathieu.The film, like the novel, features numerous other characters and subplots, such as Fantine, a woman forced into prostitution to pay two cruel innkeepers, the Thénardiers, for looking after her daughter Cosette, and the story of the revolutionaries, including Marius, a young man who falls in love later on in the film with the now-adult Cosette. He serves an additional 14 years for escape attempts. Javert is a cruel, ruthless police inspector who has dedicated his life to pursuing Valjean, whose only crime was stealing a loaf of bread, for which he received 5 years in jail. Jean Valjean is an ex-convict struggling to redeem himself, but his attempts are continually ruined by the intrusion of Javert. Part Three: Liberté, liberté chérie (Freedom, dear Freedom).Part Two: Les Thénardier (The Thenardiers).
