de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Flicker Alley has just released the Blu-ray of the classic 1923 version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," starring Lon Chaney in his masterful and poignant performance of Quasimodo. This edition was mastered from a multi-tinted 16mm print that was struck in 1926 from the original camera negative. A new symphonic score was arranged by Donald Hunsberger and was recorded in the Czech Republic with Robert Israel conducting the orchestra. The disc also includes bonus feature.
