Les misérables

Michel Audiard did not write a line for this film. He is not even in the credits. He was perhaps originally approached to collaborate in the writing, notably because of his affinity with Jean Gabin, finally did not contribute to it. Jean-Paul Le Chanois makes this clear in his interviews with Philippe Esnault: I liked Hugo's work very early on, I'd written the screenplay with René Barjavel (who had worked with me a bit on "Le Cas du docteur Laurent").

For the release in West Germany, the film was considerably censored and shortened, as well as completely re-dubbed.
