Summary
In producing 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' Carl Laemmle believed it would be, like the book, a work of creative art with the permanence of the ancient Cathedral itself and a picture for all days to come. He expected Victor Hugo's classic to be the crowning achievement of the screen. The film was starred by Patsy Ruth Miller, Ernest Torrence, Norman Kerry, Tully Marshall, Nigel de Brulier, Brandon Hurst and Raymond Hatton. Production and plot details included.
