"Beyond the Barricade: Adapting Les Misérables for the Cinema" by Ian Shapiro
I only found this source after going through my music library after going to grad school, well after I'd made this video. Had I had access to it while making this video I naturally would have cited it because it's such an amazing source on the production for this film.
Sorry to Ian Shapiro, and I wish finding academic sources while outside of academia was easier and not behind a paywall
