Facts about
In many of the scenes where the Hunchback was climbing down it was not Lon Chaney but stuntman Joe Bonomo, who did much stunt work for Universal and later was a prominent bodybuilder.
Lon Chaney's salary on the film was $2,500 a week. Shooting began in December of 1922, and was completed in June of 1923. Chaney ended up making close to $60,000 plus contract bonuses from the picture, which was the longest shoot in his career.
A competition was held in 1923 through Universal through various Photoplay music (stock silent music) companies to come up with a theme song for the film. The winner was Maurice Baron, whose characteristic reverie "The Chimes of Notre Dame" was used as the main theme. The original cue sheet to the film came with a copy of the piece for piano, with the suggestion that it be used imperatively.
