The scene in which Quasimodo rings the cathedral bells for Esmeralda was shot the day World War II began in Europe. The director and star were so overwhelmed, the scene took on a new meaning, with Charles Laughton ringing the bells frantically and William Dieterle forgetting to yell "cut." Finally, the actor just stopped ringing when he became too tired to continue. Later, Laughton said, "I couldn't think of Esmeralda in that scene at all. I could only think of the poor people out there, going in to fight that bloody, bloody war! To arouse the world, to stop that terrible butchery! Awake! Awake! That's what I felt when I was ringing the bells!"

CHARLES LAUGHTON (Quasimodo) and MAUREEN O' HARA (Esmerelda) in the HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME (1939) | dir. William Dieterle

Pre-Code Hollywood Actresses. Rachel Towers

Raquel Torres (Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico; November 11, 1908 - Los Angeles, California; August 10, 1987) was a Mexican actress, famous in Hollywood in the early years of sound cinema in the thirties. Raquel began her film career at the age of 19 and gained immediate attention thanks to the W-Tape. S. Van Dyke White Shadows in the South Seas (1928), the first MGM film to synchronize music, dialogues and sound effects. The beautifully shot film won the Oscar for Best Picture.

The next year Raquel acted with Lili Damita and Ernest Torrence in The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929), the first film version of Thornton Wilder's classic novel. Another Raquel film in that year, was The Desert Rider (1929), alongside Tim McCoy. Torres went on to perform in tropical settings in The Sea Bat (1930) and Aloha (1931). She eventually collaborated with comedians Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey in So This Is Africa (1933) and alongside the Marx Brothers in Goose Soup (1933).
