The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a 1923 silent drama film directed by Wallace Worsley, based on Victor Hugo’s novel. The film stars Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Set in 15th-century Paris, the story follows Quasimodo’s unrequited love for Esmeralda, a kind-hearted Roma dancer, and his struggle against societal prejudice and cruelty. With grand sets, Chaney’s transformative performance, and a faithful adaptation of Hugo’s themes, this film remains a landmark in silent cinema. <br /><br />Credits: <br />Director: Wallace Worsley <br />Producer: Carl Laemmle <br />Starring: Lon Chaney, Patsy Ruth Miller, Norman Kerry, Brandon Hurst <br />Screenplay: Edward T.
