The silence with only the mournful Gregorian chants in the background is spellbinding, ominous and the perfect set up for the great climatic rescue.
The scene is: Esmerelda (Maureen O'Hara) is about to be hanged while her friends Pierre Gringoire and Clopin Trouillefo (Edmond O'Brien and Thomas Mitchell) helplessly look on. Quasimodo, (the hunchback) has other plans to save Esmeralda. A most dramatic and wonderfully moving scene.-HistoricusJoe.- "Fair Use": In no part is this video clip (one minute 26 seconds) made for commercial or profit use.
