Cast: Lon Chaney Sr. and Patsy Ruth Miller

This classic film vaulted Lon Chaney into stardom for his portrayal of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell ringer living in the bell towers of Notre Dame.  Quasimodo’s devotion to Esmeralda (Patsy Ruth Miller), due to her act of kindness, places both of them in great peril from Jehan (Brandon Hurst), the evil brother of the church’s archdeacon.
