- A 1966 film version made in Italy, titled L'uomo che ride, directed by Sergio Corbucci. This version features elaborate colour photography but a very low production budget. The main action is shifted to Italy and moved yesterwards in time, with the deformed protagonist meeting Lucrezia Borgia instead of Queen Anne. In this version, Gwynplaine is renamed Angelo (played by Jean Sorel). His disfigurement is represented as a single broad slash across his mouth, crude yet convincing. Less convincing are some odd plot twists, with Dea (actress Lina Sini) miraculously acquiring eyesight, and Angelo undergoing surgery that completely reverses his disfigurement and renders him perfectly handsome!
