The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine -- usually a Xerox DocuColor. This professional color photocopier far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: In the crowded streets of medieval Paris, a woman unfairly accused of murder pleads for mercy. For most of his life, he has been forced to live in lonely isolation in the bell tower of the famous cathedral -- hidden away like a beast, banished from sight, shunned and despised by all. For though he was gentle and kind, it was Quasimodo's crime to have been born hideously deformed. But one day his heart would prove to be a thing of rare beauty. She was the dazzling Esmerelda. A dark-eyed gypsy girl who, the victim of a coward's jealous rage, is unjustly convicted of a crime she did not commit. Her sentence is death by hanging. Only one man would answer: the hunchback Quasimodo -- the bell ringer of Notre Dame. About Author: Victor Hugo (1802-85) was born in Besançon, France. He is best remembered for his wonderful adventure classics including The Hunchback of Notre Dame(1831) and Les Misérables(1862). About Movie: Clopin bought Esmeralda from the gypsies when she was young. Dancing in the square at the festival, Esmeralda is spotted by Jehan, the evil brother of the good archdeacon. When he sets Quasimoto out to kidnap Esmeralda, Phoebus, Captain of the Guards, rescues her and captures Quasimoto. The courts sentence Quasimoto to be flogged, and the only one who will give him water while he is tied in the square is Esmeralda. After Clopin forces Esmeralda to leave Phoebus at the ball, she sends a note to Phoebus to meet her at Notre Dame. In the garden, Phoebus is stabbed in the back by Jehan. Esmeralda is accused of stabbing Phoebus, convicted by the courts and sentenced to hang. When Esmeralda again rejects Jehan, he tells her that Phoebus is dead, even though it is not true. Clopin, Phoebus and Quasimoto all try different ways to save Esmeralda. The Universal film premiered at the Astor Theatre in New York City on September 2, 1923. Universal Pictures would re-release the film 5 years later in 1928.
