    It opened at Carnegie Hall instead of a regular movie house, marking it as more than a movie--an event.

    Lon Chaney's Quasimodo is one of early cinema's most forlorn and tragic movie monsters, on par with King Kong and Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's creation.

    Of interest today strictly for Lon Chaney's bell-ringing performance.

    One of the best silent films ever made. Chaney's makeup is still incredible.
