I found this somewhat laughable given that I was watching on "valentines day" and its not a patch on the version with Charles Laughton. The Bishop is in love with the girl in this one and hes prepared to kill! The judge at the trial is a puff and equally so "superior" its quite laughable. Gielgud is equally vile in his part as are Suchet and Powell in theirs. Leaving only "the boyfriend" and Quasimodo with any morality whatsoever. Sad that in this version every member of the church and the "aristocracy/army" is such an aweful human being. The Bishop (who I assume to be a catholic priest) in love (in his head at least) with a beautiful woman that is supposed to be untouchable. PLEASE watch the Laughton version. Its vastly superior in every way that leaves this one to be completely inferior in script, story telling etc etc
