| | Notes | A re-working of the Quasimodo story set in Rome in 1944. Quasimodo is a resistance leader who rapes the daughter of a Nazi collaborator and then falls in love with her. She becomes pregnant but miscarries and becomes a prostitute. The hunchback is shot, captured, tortured, escapes and attempts to liberate his part of Rome and the women who have become prostitutes -- without success. Note the prescience in the cast of the director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
