LES MISERABLES
TCM, 9:45 p.m. ET
Many movies have been made of this classic Victor Hugo novel – and while this is by no means the best of them, it’s fun to watch nonetheless. Michael Rennie stars as Jean Valjean in this 1952 version, made the year after he starred as Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Robert Newton plays Inspector Javert, and the leading ladies are portrayed by Debra Paget (as Cosette) and Sylvia Sidney (as Fantine).
