Along with 1935's A Tale of Two Cities, this adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel stands as Hollywood's best version of a classic. Every element, from the acting to the sets to Alfred Newman's Oscar-nominated music to William Dieterle's expansive direction, is virtually flawless. This new laserdisc transfer does full justice to Joseph August's breathtaking black-and-white cinematography, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame's bonuses a running commentary by critic Robert Osborne, a making-of featurette starring O'Hara are informative and fun. Best revelation: The cathedral bells on the soundtrack were recorded at the real Notre Dame. A
