The Man Who Laughs (5.4)

Movie · 1966 · 1 h 37 min · Drama, Adventure

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. The story (not credited to Hugo) is a swashbuckler pitting the disfigured acrobat against the henchmen of the Borgias.

Directed by: Sergio Corbucci

Starring Jean Sorel, Lisa Gastoni, Ilaria Occhini, Edmund Purdom, Gino Pernice, Ferdinando Poggi, Linda Sini, Gianni Musy, Nino Vingelli, Livia Contardi
