The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Ultimate Edition) description
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 |

Improved Video But Only Slightly
|
| This is by far the best image quality yet that I have seen of this wonderful film. However, considering that this is the exact same print that has been in circulation for many years, and the print is full of scratches, artifacts, and shakes, jumps and jitters along the way, the beginning statement is not a endorsement. Now, to be fair there is some slight improvement in quality. There is much more sharpness and detail than the previous version. It doesnt look as washed out as the other version did. It has also been speed corrected to have a more natural and smoother flow to it. Also a new stereo surround music accompaniment has been added. It is a much more enjoyable experience to view than before. Lon Chaney gives a superb performance as the hunchback Quasimodo. His makeup is nothing short of astounding. With this set you also get a short collection of 3D stills that may be viewed (3D glasses are included), a collection of flat 2D stills and publicity items, a few minutes of silent footage of Chaney on the set of the picture (out of costume and makeup), and also a few minutes of a very early film appearance of Chaney called Alas And Alak made in 1913. He also appeared as a hunchback in this film. This is for the present time the best version available. Unless a better print is discovered in the vaults somewhere this is it! Recommended. |
