the hunchback of notre dame (1923)
"Have you so little misery that you must create more?"
Medieval Paris and the deformed Quasimodo (Lon Chainey) watches from his bell tower with scorn on those who mock and torment him. He is then drawn into a web of intrege surrounding men's lust to possess Esmeralda, the ward of the king of beggars, that eventually leads to tragedy.
A love story, which has a suitable tragic ending, better than the Disneyfied travesty, and almost as poetic as the Hugo novel.
