The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Adaptation of the classic novel by Victor Hugo. Quasimodo, the malformed bell-ringer of 15th-century Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral, is moved to tears by the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, when she gives him water and a little pity after he is publicly flogged. But others too are enamored of Esmeralda: in particular, the self-righteous archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, who is not above kidnapping and murder to satisfy his lust.
