Trivia
Hugh Jackman personally lobbied for Anne Hathaway to get the role of Fantine after the two performed together at the Academy Awards. See more »Goofs
The bishop is shown wearing liturgical vestments including a chasuble and a stole. At that time in history the stole (which in this scene is over the chasuble) would have been worn crossed over the chest UNDER the chasuble. The mostly incorrect practice of wearing a stole over a chasuble did not start until after Vatican 2 . See more »Quotes

What an innovative film!
Contrary to one of the reviews which canned everything about the movie from the plot to the actors' singing voices to camera angles (by someone who, to me, is obviously not familiar with the live theater productions of this musical nor it appears the he has ever been to any), I find this movie version is a a state-of-the-art capture of one the world's great musicals for the cinema screens!
The live singing is superb, showing the fragility (and flaws) of every performer ... and that's what a live-performance is all about! This movie captured a live theater production on screen for all cinema goers who never had the chance to enjoy a live theater production!
Kudos to everyone involved! A must-see for all! And a must-buy for those who wish to have a copy of this masterpiece for a keepsake!
