Storyline:The film was made only a dozen years following the end of the Great War, and the memories of the war were still fresh.Laughton's extensive make-up ook 2 1/2 hours each day to apply.Laughton had also appeared in another Victor Hugo film adaptation,Les Miserables (1935).A Tale of Two Cities (1935), another Hugo-based film adaptation, closely rivaled this 1939 classic.The historical costume adventure-drama (with a love quadrangle of sorts) also contained an element of horror - in the character of the deformed bellringer, although the real 'monster' in the movie was the manipulative, treacherous, scheming and villainous Chief Justice (Jean Frollo), who was possessed by crazed homicidal urges stemming from unrequited love.Marty laments his bachelorhood and is unwillingly resigned to his fate:Listen, Ange.I've been looking for a girl every Saturday night of my life.I'm thirty-four years old.I'm just ired of looking, that's all.I'd like to find a girl.Everybody's always telling me, 'Get married, get married, get married!' Don't you think I want to get married? I want to get married." Foley falsely identified himself as Richard James, living at 1603 Hillcrest Road (the remodeled house) - the address to which Cain sent hitmen.
