i hate to go "they don't make 'em like this anymore" but truly how is it charles laughton and cedric hardwicke don't exchange a single word (apart from the sentence i included) as quasimodo and frollo during the 1939 hunchback but still deliver maybe the most compelling and strong take on the relationship between their characters. like, what kind of sorcery
like this is it. these are their interactions. when i tell you i could hear entire dialogues between them
Niche thing I found out about ,apparently in the 50's there were records called Co Star which were games where you could perform a scene opposite big name stars
So if you wanted to act beside Cedric Hardwicke doing Macbeth or Vincent Price doing Importance of Being Ernest,here ya go
Really sad the 1939 Hunchback of Notre Dame adaptation couldn't get past the Hays Code and keep Claude Frollo as the archdeacon,because otherwise Cedric Hardwicke is the best Frollo by far in my opinion.I would've loved to see him play the character as he was in the novel.
Charles Laughton, Charles Boyer, and Cedric Hardwicke stand by as Agnes Moorehead performs during a stage production of 'Don Juan in Hell', an episode from George Bernard Shaw's 'Man and Superman', in 1951.
Ah, if only we could've had Cedric Hardwicke (1939 movie) as Book! Claude Frollo AND Maurice Sarfati as Jehan Frollo (1956 movie) in the same film. That would've been so perfect.
Also 1956 Clopin is my favourite Clopin ever, wish there were GIFs of him somewhere .
