Exceptional facial, etc. prosthetics for 1939

I haven't watched this movie in years (but have seen it a number of times, overall), though readily remember the truly outstanding - and totally believable - facial and body prosthetics Charles Laughton wore as Quasimodo.
Here are a couple pictures to remind: Shot 1, Shot 2.
Incredible performance Laughton gives; he fully becomes the Quasimodo character.

Watched for the first time last night. The makeup effects are amazing. There's one or two points where you can see the seam of the rubber suit but it doesn't ruin the effect. Laughton gives an amazing performance under all that.

Here's a superb showcase scene for Laughton, and a somewhat oddly colourized compilation of highlights snippets from assorted scenes.
