HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, THE(1923)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
While this is a silent movie, and I really
don't care for silent movies, this one is
a cut above the rest!! Lon Chaney Sr. and
Patsy Ruth Miller both do outstanding jobs
here, with the rest of the cast being quite
good!! Strangely, for a silent movie, this
actually has singing & bells ringing as well
as other sounds! Not at all like most silent
movies! The biggest drawback to this one for
me is its length at 1:40! B+
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is another sad
story about a disfigured man falling in love
with a beautiful lady. Although a work of
fiction, the film is a borderline horror
film much like the Joseph Merrick's story
(see: The Elephant Man 1980 - which is
based on true life of Merrick) yet the
two stories are completely different.
Lon Chaney, Sr. played the part of Quasimodo
so believably well. Just simply brilliant.
The rest of the cast in this silent film
classic is also great - wonderful performances.
If you liked this movie then try to find
copies of 'London after Midnight' and
'The Phantom of the Opera' - both starring
Lon Chaney, Sr.
