Paris, France, 1482. Frollo, Chief Justice of benevolent King Louis XI, gets infatuated by the beauty of Esmeralda, a young Romani girl. The hunchback Quasimodo, Frollo's protege and bell-ringer of Notre Dame, lives in peace among the bells in the heights of the immense cathedral until he is involved by the twisted magistrate in his malicious plans to free himself from Esmeralda's alleged spell, which he believes to be the devil's work.

A very sad romance but a wonderful film. Charles Laughton plays Quasimodo... the hunchback of Norte Dame cathedral assigned to the task of ringing the churches bells. He falls for a beautiful young gypsy played by Maureen Ohara... a story of discrimination, politics and love. An iconic film that should be seen. I loved it and was on the edge of my seat the entire movie.... lovely and tragic. .
