* TruerToTheText: This version is the closest to the book. There are a few differences, such as Frollo not being explicitly stated to be a priest, but it still follows the original plot beat-for-beat, including the DownerEnding.

** Gina Lollobrigida herself is probably also a barefooter, given that she really enjoyed posing to the photographers in her Esmeralda outfit (most of the pictures you would find by googling "Lollobrigida Esmeralda" are off-screen shots rather than actual scenes from the movie), and portrayed three other iconic barefoot characters, namely Maria De Ritis in ''Bread, Love and Dreams'' (1953), Marietta from ''The Law'' (1959), and Ippolita from ''La bellezza di Ippolita'' (1962). Speculation even says that it was the actress' own idea to portray Esmeralda in bare feet, rather than the director's.

Added DiffLines:

* PrefersGoingBarefoot: This is the first film version in which Esmeralda is barefoot for the whole movie, [[LostInImitation a detail that would be repeated in many subsequent adaptations]]. Amusingly, the film includes the book's line in which it's mentioned that she will be sent the gallows in her shift and barefoot. Since she's ''already'' barefoot, you'd think that part wouldn't need to be specified.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Due to the Hays Code, Claude Frollo couldn't be portrayed as a villain and a priest. In contrast to previous adaptations, he is still a villain, but this time only referred to as an alchemist... One who lives in the cathedral and wears the robes of a priest.
