A color blockbuster for french standards, importing Gina from the south and Quinn from Hollywood, but honoring Hugo in dialogues and massive scenes. Cuny is excellent as Frollo, murmuring his lascive repression. Gina is pure lust, Quinn is ok.

Paris, 1482. Today is the festival of the fools, taking place like each year in the square outside Cathedral Notre Dame. Among jugglers and other entertainers, Esmeralda, a sensuous gypsy, performs a bewitching dance in front of delighted spectators. From up in a tower of the cathedral, Frollo, an alchemist, gazes at her lustfully. Later in the night, Frollo orders Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer and his faithful servant, to kidnap Esmeralda. But when the ugly freak comes close to her is touched by the young woman’s beauty.
