The Hunchback of Notre Dame – One Sheet

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (RKO, 1939). One Sheet (27.25″ X 41″).
In a stunning and sensitive portrayal, Charles Laughton brings Victor Hugo’s deformed bell-ringer, Quasimodo, to life for the first time in the sound era. Daringly different than the more monstrous character immortalized in 1923 by Lon Chaney, Laughton’s Quasimodo is a tender, almost poetic creature who falls in love with the gypsy girl Esmeralda (Maureen O’Hara). When she is wrongly accused of murder and sentenced to the gallows, Quasimodo rescues her, at the cost of his own life. This sublime one sheet features lush artwork and retains excellent color and clarity. Touchup was applied to very small chips in the right, bottom, and left border, fold wear, and pinholes in the borders and top background. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
