Plot: From its dramatic opening shots to its powerfully heart-wrenching
climax, Jean Delannoy's spectacle THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
retells Victor Hugo's remarkable novel with gripping theatrical
energy. It is 1492, in and around the imposing Cathedral of
Notre Dame de Paris, where the Festival of Fools has begun.
Pierre Gringoire's play entitled "The Quest for Beauty" is being
performed; which is ironic because during it, the hideous,
hunchback bell-ringer Quasimodo (Anthony Quinn) is tormented and
teased by a band of gypsies. Nothing can touch Quasimodo, though,
as he is protected by Frollo, the Chief Justice. Frollo has his
own problems, the worst being a pious conscience that keeps
wrestling with an attraction to sexy gypsy dancer Esmerelda
(Gina Lollobridgida). When Frollo sends Quasimodo to fetch
Esmerelda for him, the poor hunchback only frightens her and gets
arrested,sending Esmerelda into the arms of Phoebus, a confident,
though dim-witted and smarmy, army captain. Esmerelda soon pities
Quasimodo, attempting to sooth him as he is held in the gallows.
But when Phoebus is stabbed to death,there seems to be little any
of Esmerelda's admirers can do to prove her innocence.In this
film about injustice,prejudice, and obsession, cinematographer
Kelber's camerawork finds drama in every crevice, arch, and
window of the cathedral itself, and Quinn is heartbreaking as the
misunderstood hunchback.
