When Valjean releases Javert from the chair he's been tied to, Javerts hands are tied to his side with the rope reaching between his legs. As soon as they are outside, his hands are tied together behind his back. moreQuotes:
Bishop Myriel: [to Valjean] And I promise you, there is more joy in heaven over the face of an repented sinner than the white silk robes of a hundred just men. moreFAQ

This is my favorite version of all the movies. Very good! Anthony Perkins is wonderful as the obsessed policeman and Richard Jordan seems as thought this part were written just for him. This version focuses more on Jean Valjean than his daughter which I personally liked. This version covers most of what the musical just blows through. The Version with Liam Nieson focuses more on the relationship with Jean Valjean and his daughter Cosette. This is a movie worth watching over and over again, however, you need to give it your full attention or you won't like it. It is sad in parts but shows what can happen to a person who is determined to succeed. A great rags to riches story.
