With huge sets, rousing action scenes and a versatile throng portraying a medieval Paris of cutthroats, clergy, beggers and nobles, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) remains on of Hollywood's all-time grandest spectacles. Charles Laughton endured a daily five-and-a-half-hour makeup session to become Quasimodo, the mocked and vilified bellringer of Notre Dame. The result was on of his best performances: outsized yet nuanced, heart-rendering yet inspiring. |
