The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a 1923 American film starring Lon Chaney as Quasimodo and Patsy Ruth Miller as Esmeralda, and is directed by Wallace Worsley. The film is the second most famous adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel, following the critically acclaimed, much reissued 1939 masterpiece by RKO. The tale was almost unrecognizable in the freely adapted 1996 Disney cartoon version. The film was Universal's "Super Jewel" of 1923 and was their most successful silent film, grossing over $3 million.
