  • "A sumptuous dramatization of Victor Hugo's novel produced in 1923 by Universal Studios at the then phenomenal cost of $1.25 million. An extraordinary gamble, the film boldly deviated from established Hollywood formula and made its central character not a romantic ideal but a gruesomely disfigured "monster" incapable of arousing the beautiful leading lady to anything more than pity. As Quasimoto, Lon Chaney is a marvel of makeup and nonverbal expression, shuffling through the streets of medieval Paris, communing with the cathedral gargoyles, dutifully suffering the lash and humiliation for a crime committed against another, expressing a heart-rending love for a beautiful gypsy girl who naively sees only the military officer as the heroic ideal."@en

  • "A Deformed bellringer at Notre Dame cathedral in late 15th century France rescues a gypsy girl from the evil intentions of her guardian."
  • "Produced in 1923, this adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel is still considered the best of the screen versions of the tale.

When Esmeralda is accused of murdering her lover, the officer Phoebus, it is the hunchback who forfeits his life to save her. This adaptation of the Hugo novel is noteworthy for its massive sets, particularly the skillful recreation of the cathedral and the notorious "court of miracles," home to the Parisian underworld of beggars, thieves and assassins. For the demanding role of Quasimodo, Lon Chaney was required to wear a costume weighing seventy pounds."
  • "One of Lon Chaney's greatest performances. The film was made for Universal at a budget of a million and one half dollars."@en
  • "Home use only."@en
  • "One of the major productions of the early twenties with lavish sets and well-staged crowd scenes. It is, however, most remembered for Chaney's celebrated performance as Quasimodo, a human shape twisted by harness and make-up and moving with an almost choreographed use of the body to express emotion."@en

  • "Lon Chaney as Quasimodo looks as if he had just stepped out from the original illustrations of Victor Hugo's novel. The sets depicting fifteenth-century Paris covered nineteen acres of Universal Pictures' back lot and included the facade of Notre Dame Cathedral. Filming took six months and the climactic sequence employed 2000 extras, but it's Lon Chaney's performance that makes the character unforgettable. Mastered from a multi-tinted 16mm print struck in 1926 from the original camera negative."
