The Hunchback of Notre Dame

One of the grandest spectacles of silent cinema, this lush adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel is fueled by Lon Chaney’s wonderful (and painful) performance as Quasimodo, the deformed 15th-century Parisian bellringer who falls in love with Gypsy dancer Esmerelda (Patsy Ruth Miller) and tries to save her from execution. With Winifred Bryson, Nigel De Brulier, Brandon Hurst, Eulalie Jensen. Multi-tinted print features a new symphonic score adapted and conducted by Robert Israel. 112 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary; behind-the-scenes footage; bonus short "Alas and Alack" (1915); photo gallery. Silent with music score.
