A Triumph of American Screen Craft
THE COURT OF MIRACLES, THE Thieves Market, the private rooms of King Louis, the gem-like chapels of the mighty Cathedral of Notre Dame, its towering facade with its twenty-four heroic saints and its mystic interior . . . slums, mansions, picturesque streets, crude carts bumping over the cobbles, the bright figures of Esmeralda, the dancing girl, and Phoebus, king's courtier, in their deathless romance . . . Clopin, sinister king of the beggars . Quasimodo himself, recreated from a priceless etching by Victor Hugo's own hand . . . all, all are there in the most fascinating and meticulous detail.
SETTINGS THAT COVER ACRES, yet built like a watch . . . mobs that hurl and swirl with passion, yet handled like an army under the orders of a smaller army of directors . . . six months of study of dress alone . . . three months of building the greatest picture sets ever constructed . . . three hours of " make-up " each day for its principal character . . . watch for this picture and marvel at the organization behind it. Only in " The Hunchback of Notre Dame " will the world ever see the great cathedral as it appeared in all its glory in the 15th Century . . . "a monument to Human Faith . . ." only in this marvelous picture . . . which is more than a picture ... a Record for the Ages!
