I have to disagree on the matter of Cossette and Marius. Even including 2012, this is my favorite version of at least Cossette, mostly because this Cossette is more responsible about not giving away dangerous information about their movements to a guy she, in the 2012 version, literally just met. And she was going to tell Valjean about him but just ran out of time. Granted, she's less faithful to the book, but more bearable. And really, any version of the pair is better than their train wreck counterparts of '98. Just my thought. And March and Laughton just act together so awesomely.Auntie Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265322184522968713noreply@blogger.com
