Les Miserables

Visible crew/equipment: When Marius and Cosette are singing in the shot where Marius is brought home and just before the wedding scene you can see an earpiece in Cosette's ear.

Visible crew/equipment: When Éponine sings "On my own" towards the end, when she whispers "I love him" you can see the shadow of the cameraman on her left cheek as he leans closer, and then disappear as the camera apparently zooms out and the cameraman backs away.

Visible crew/equipment: When inspector Javert returns to the barricade after spying on the French Armies, you see a shot of a whole section of the barricade on the left side of the screen moving forwards about 2 feet into place.

Factual error: In the scene where Javert commits suicide, you can see the back side of Notre Dame in the background. However the river Seine does not flow in the direction as shown in the following scenes. The river Seine flows from the east to the west in Paris, not the other way round.
