STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939}

Charles Laughton gives the greatest performance of his career in William Dieterle's adaptation of Victor Hugo's THE HINCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939). Along with able support from Maureen O'Hara, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Edmund O'Brien, Harry Davenport, Thomas Mitchell and a cast of thousands, this is a spectacle of spectacles. A film of such rich scope, brilliant direction and bravura performances, you will be mesmerized, awed and overwhelmed by the beauty, pageantry and sensitivity of this unforgettable classic.
