'Les Miserables', the book, 'Les Miserables', the musical - it's about giving; it's about goodness. It's about compassion and love.

Sure, 'Les Miserables' can be melodramatic. And seeing the musical instead of reading the novel will save you some time and spare you the long part where Hugo goes on and on about the Parisian sewer system. But I would hate for the novel to lose that.

'Bloodless' reminded me a bit of 'Les Miserables' when it first came out.

I remember seeing 'Les Miserables' with the original cast - this was in '87 - and I was blown away by it.

It's fantastic to see 'Les Miserables' become the top-grossing film at the U.K. box office.

The speculators deadly enemies are: Ignorance, greed, fear and hope. All the statute books in the world and all the rules of all the Exchanges on earth cannot eliminate these from the human animal.
