L'uomo che ride
1966 · 1 hr 28 mins
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.
Director: Sergio Corbucci
Cast: Jean Sorel, Lisa Gastoni, Ilaria Occhini, Edmund Purdom, Gino Pernice
