THE MAN WHO LAUGHS

"If you liked "Scaramouche" you'll love "The Man Who Laughs""

Directed by Sergio Corbucci

Spoiler-Free

This loose adaptation of the Victor Hugo classic shifts the story to Italy and back in time, with the deformed protagonist meeting Lucrezia Borgia instead of Queen Anne. Also, Gwynplaine is renamed Angelo (Jean Sorel) with his disfigurement represented by a single broad slash across his mouth, crude yet convincing.
