The Hunchback of Notre Dame
(1923)
A fifteenth-century dress rehearsal for the Revolution, with Clopin (Ernest Torrence) rousing the rabble with slightly skewed Marxist sloganry.Oh, and yes, I need to say this, though it's not exactly news: Lon Chaney is remarkable as Quasimodo, wordlessly imbuing the orthopedically challenged title character with fear, pride, defiance, and love.
