The enormous popularity of the novel in France spurred the nascent historical preservation movement in that country and strongly encouraged Gothic Revival architecture. The title given in some English translations has led some people to believe the primary character of the drama was the hunchback, Quasimodo. However, this was not the author's intent. The author felt the primary character was Notre-Dame de Paris itself, the Cathedral. The human drama within the novel revolves around the gypsy Esmeralda, and which of several suitors she will choose. The story has been adapted to the screen a number of times,.

Considered by many reviewers to be the best of the many film versions of Victor Hugo's classic novel, and perhaps the one that sticks closest to Hugo's plot and intention. The film tells the tragic tale of a disfigured bellringer who falls for the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda in medieval Paris. The film provides the stage for one of Laughton's greatest portrayals as the tragic title figure. Backed up by Maureen O'Hara's sweet but fiery Esmeralda, and Hardwicke's chilling prosecutor, Frollo. Atmospheric direction and stark yet lavish sets combine with the fine performances to build a genuinely moving experience, all-too absent from later versions. Considered by many.
