Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces, was best known for playing Quasimodo and the Phantom of the Opera. But the former role was clearly the most ambitious of his illustrious career, full of such longing and anguish. It's as though his entire being was consumed by this ugly outcast with a heart as big and beautiful as Notre Dame itself. And the makeup is still astonishing. The rest of this unrequited love story is pretty effective as well, with the re-creation of medieval Paris a standout for its lavishness. Like all great silent films, it delivers a poetry of life that is abstract and tangible at the same time. --Bill Desowitz

You did not advertise that the movie was in subtitle format. I was extremely unhappy with this product!!!!
fun to watch November 16, 2009
Steven C. Schuller (Aurora, Il)
I've attempted over the years to watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame in it's entirety, but never quite made it until I finally ordered the dvd. I really enjoyed this movie even though it appears to be scratchy. I recommend this dvd to old school horror fans. It's worth buying.
 The best of the Hunchback movies August 11, 2009
Tamela Quijas (The far, far far Southwestern USA)
Lon Chaney is amazing in this adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He shines in his portrayal of the abused character and his stunning portrayal is magical, from the haunting expression in his eyes when he first beholds the beautiful Esmerelda to the fear that radiates throughout his entire person when he realizes the man that raised him is the most evil of all souls. I would suggest reading the background involved in Chaney's portrayal of the Hunchback to understand the precise research he did to transfer himself into Quasimodo
Still unsurpassed! April 3, 2009
Jeffrey Griffin (Miami, Fl.)
This Lon Chaney classic still reigns supreme as the best and most chilling adaptation of this oft-remade film. Lon Chaney's make up and acting is terrific, and the sets are awesome. This is a must-have for any true fan of horror cinema.
The best edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame available. February 25, 2009

This is the loveliest Special Edition of this silent classic ever made available on DVD,a perfect companion piece to Image's wonderful two disc of The Pahntom of the Opera(1925),a few years previous.While,not the classic that film is,or as good as it's 1939 film,this is STILL a must see piece of cinema with one of the great performances in film,courtesy of the imimitable Lon Chaney sr.
The film is presented tinted and for the first time is presented correctly as this was derived from a recently recovered 35mm print,and the film is finally intact.It's a very well done epic with impressive sets and production,featuring many unforgettable vignettes like Quasimodo getting whipped and being given water by Esmerelda(Patsy Ruth Miller),the festival of Fools and that climax!It's a film of immense emotional power that still resonates over eighty years later,and will likely for another eighty.
There are plenty of Special features including an essay and commentary track by Chaney biographer,Michael F.Blake,a reproduction of the film's original publicity pamphlet and 3-D stills that come with there own glasses!
It's also a treat to view Chaney in the fragment of his other Hunchback role in the now lost,"Alas and Alek".
This is a great DVD set reccomended for any Cinema fanatic and admirers of that "Man of a thousand faces".
