If you loved The Hunchback of Notre Dame, try Portrait of Jennie
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by William Dieterle, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Portrait of Jennie is
Rain-washed 1940s New York. An old coat’s threadbare cuff. Late-evening gallery crowds thin as he sketches her. She speaks of eras he didn’t live. Dieterle drapes Gothic chiaroscuro over one girl’s impossible bloom.
