I enjoyed the narration from 3 separate characters in all 3 Acts; the struggling Jean Valjean (played by Alexander Scourby) from ACT 1, the heartless Inspector Javert (played by Bernard Grant) from ACT 2, and the sympathetic Bishop (played by Mandel Kramer) in ACT 3. And the music makes the characters more compassionate, brutish, and/or amicable. I would've rate this CBSRMT episode 5 out of 5, if they picked someone other than Joan Shay to play Madame Magloire. Her voice as a french character sounded tedious to me. They should've picked Carol Teitel (from Ep.0931-THE SEARCH FOR MYRA) or Jada Rowland (from Ep. 0790-A MESSAGE FROM SPACE) because their voices sound tenderhearted. But anyway, this is 1 of the best adaptations I ever heard.
