The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Derek Jacobi, Lesley-Anne Down, Robert Powell, John Gielgud
Rousing new production of the Victor Hugo classic, adapted by John Gay. Highlighted by Hopkins's carefully shaded portrait of Quasimodo and production designer John Stoll's detailed replica of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral, built on the backlot of Pinewood Studios outside London. Aka HUNCHBACK. Remade again for TV in 1997 with Mandy Patinkin. Above average.
(1982, Rated NR)
