HOROR / ROMANCE / DRAMA - 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.

Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary; home movie footage by Chaney; newsreel footage; photo gallery. Silent with music score.
