THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1923) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Wallace Worsley

Written by - Perley Poore Sheehan, Edward T. Lowe Jr. (based on a book by Victor Hugo)

Starring - Lon Chaney

 

"An ugly and deformed outcast falls in love and saves a gypsy lady from execution by keeping her within the walls of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Lon Chaney steals the show in one of his most memorable roles, playing the hunchback full of anguish but with a great heart. It is too bad that the direction is much too low key and that the scenario does not do the story justice."
