The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1956) - Paris, France - Movie Locations on Waymarking.com

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo was published in 1831. The novel is a fictional account of a deformed hunchback known as Quasimodo who serves as the bellringer at this cathedral. The novel has been adapted for at least a dozen films, television, animation, ballet, theater, television...you name it.
The imdb (visit link) indicates that filming locations for the 1956 film included "Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris 6, Place du Parvis, Paris 4..."
Although Lon Chaney and Charles Laughton are often remembered as having played Quasimodo in earlier versions, many critics praise Anthony Quinn's performance in this film. Gina Lollobrigida plays Esmeralda in the work.
Wikipedia (visit link) adds:

"In the tradition of many sword and sandal spectacles, Quinn and Lollobrigida are the only two actors in the film who actually speak in English; the rest of the cast is made up of French actors who have had their voices dubbed into English. Anthony Quinn's portrayal of the hunchback Quasimodo is more human and less horrific than most other portrayals. 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 Esmeralda is killed by a stray arrow rather than hanged, a voiceover narration tells us at the end that several years afterward, an excavation group finds the skeletons of Quasimodo and Esmeralda intertwined in an embrace. Esmeralda's last words were: "Life is wonderful" ("C'est beau, la vie").
