| | Notes | B/W., Silent Silent film version of Hugo's novel. Chaney plays the 'hunchback' with over 30 pounds of rubber on his back. This was covered with animal hair a common way of representing the animal in man. Also Chaney appears to move about on four 'legs'. Along with Laughton's portrayal of Quasimodo a must see. Quasimodo is one of those characters that define cinema's attitude to disabled people. For more details visit the excellent Lon Chaney site at: http://members.aol.com/chaneyfan/
