The Man Who Laughs (Italian: L'uomo che ride) is a 1966 Italian drama film based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo.

Synopsis

In this version, the character of Gwynplaine is renamed Angelo (played by Jean Sorel). His disfigurement is represented as a single broad slash across his mouth, crude yet convincing. While he deals with this, he also falls for a beautiful girl named Dea. The story (which is attributed, in the movie credits, to the director, producer and others involved in making the film, but not to Victor Hugo) pits the disfigured acrobat against the henchmen of the Borgias. At the end, Dea miraculously acquires her eyesight and Angelo undergoes surgery that completely reverses his disfigurement and renders him perfectly handsome.
