Instead of having a huge hump and a hideously deformed face, he only has a small curve in his spine and a slightly deformed face. The film is one of the few adaptations to use Victor Hugo's original ending; although Esmer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
