What's left behind the scenes
- A film adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame".
- Preparation for filming took about a year. During this time, a detailed model of Notre-Dame Cathedral was created, approximately 75 meters in height and 50 meters in width.
- Filming took place from December 16, 1922, to June 5, 1923.
- Approximately four thousand extras were involved in the film, for whom appropriate costumes were specially sewn.
- Lon Chaney, who played Quasimodo, initially requested a fee of $1500 per week, which was a considerable sum at the time. Chaney subsequently raised his earnings twice more, reaching $2500 per week. As a result, Universal Pictures wanted to find a cheaper actor for the lead role, but after fruitless searches, they were unable to do so and agreed to the actor’s terms.
- To achieve the image of Quasimodo, Chaney had to spend about an hour and a half in makeup, wear a rubber cushion as a hump weighing 36 kilograms, and put on a flesh-colored rubber suit and corset. To create the appropriate teeth, Chaney wore a special device in his mouth.
- During the scene of Quasimodo's torture, this action was real, although the actor playing the soldier who was flogging Quasimodo tried to hit Chaney over the shoulder.
- A film adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame."
