The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) - VHS cover

[moviesludge]

[pureanonofficial]

Another excellent scene from Les Miserables 1967 relating to the Les Mis Letters for today, this time from episode 3. I love how 67 focuses on that Fantine becomes a prostitute through legal means, and how that automatically makes her lesser and more watched in the eyes of the law. Javert is perfectly cold here, and it’s just such a good take. I really like the foreshadowing of how he will react once she actually does get in trouble. The first half of 1967 is such a wonderful adaptation (the head screenwriter died halfway through writing it, and the later episodes are...less good due to that.)

Since @faintingheroine inspired me to look at the hair colors of the various French and Anglophone screen adaptations' Cosettes, I decided to look at the different Fantines too.

(Again, French or English-language only, so I'm not counting Shoujo Cosette or any other country's adaptations.)

It's interesting to look at them in chronological order. With one dark brunette exception (Sylvia Sidney), all the screen Fantines from the '20s through the '70s have either blonde or light golden brown hair. But in the '80s, a shift somehow took place, and from then on to the present day, all filmmakers seem to have decided that the character must be a dark brunette onscreen, despite her blondness in the book.

Sandra Milovanoff in the 1925 French silent film: it's hard to tell in black and white, but she looks blondish.

Florelle in the 1934 French film: blonde.

Florence Eldridge in the 1935 American film: again, blondish-looking.

Sylvia Sidney, 1952 American film: brunette.

Daniéle Delorme in the 1958 French film: light brown.

Michele Dotrice, 1967 British miniseries: blonde (like her younger sister Karen Dotrice who played Jane in Mary Poppins).

Anne-Marie Coffinet, 1972 French miniseries: this is the only image I could find and it's not the best, but she looks blonde.

Angela Pleasence, 1978 British TV film: light brown (though she has been blonde in other roles).

But then...

Évelyne Bouix, 1982 French film: brunette.

Uma Thurman, 1998 American film: brunette.

Charlotte Gainsbourg, 2000 French miniseries: brunette.

Anne Hathaway, 2012 musical film: brunette.

Lily Collins, 2018 British miniseries: brunette.

Oh well. At least in the stage musical, the tradition of blonde Fantines has always gone strong.

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Result of the Success, LM 1.5.10 (Les Miserables 1967)

“A hundred francs,” thought Fantine. “But in what trade can one earn a hundred sous a day?”

“Come!” said she, “let us sell what is left.”

The unfortunate girl became a woman of the town.

Chris: And Soon the Darkness is a British suspense film made by those who made The Avengers who co-wrote it with Terry Nation from Blake’s 7, directed by the director of the Dr. Phibes films, nothing spectacular but did get a remake, recommended for those who like 70’s British suspense and horror films, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Richie: It was ok but it was dated and nothing spectacular, Watch: On Subscription Service.
