LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Fantine Happy, LM 1.8.2 ( Les Miserables 1934)

He had released Fantine’s hand. He listened to her words as one listens to the sighing of the breeze, with his eyes on the ground, his mind absorbed in reflection which had no bottom. All at once she ceased speaking, and this caused him to raise his head mechanically. Fantine had become terrible.

She no longer spoke, she no longer breathed; she had raised herself to a sitting posture, her thin shoulder emerged from her chemise; her face, which had been radiant but a moment before, was ghastly, and she seemed to have fixed her eyes, rendered large with terror, on something alarming at the other extremity of the room.

“Good God!” he exclaimed; “what ails you, Fantine?”

She made no reply; she did not remove her eyes from the object which she seemed to see. She removed one hand from his arm, and with the other made him a sign to look behind him.

He turned, and beheld Javert.

Charles-Marie Vanel - 1892-1989

Charles Vanel was a stalwart of French cinema for over three quarters of a century.

I first came across him in Le Salaire de la Peur (1953). Although he did not have the leading role, in my view he steals the film,

He also played in classics of French cinema, such as La Belle Équipe (1937), Les Diaboliques (1955) and Le Piège (1958).

He appeared in over 200 films, including Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief (1955), but, to my mind, he never achieved the truly iconic status he really deserved.

Did he spread himself too thin?

Or perhaps accepted too many secondary roles?

Regardless, I thought he was a marvellous actor. Although not top of my list of handsome men, there was still something about him I would not have said no to.

A solid, steady man, as gentlemen should be.

Oh, and did I mention that he also smoked a pipe. I mean a lot.
