Phantom of the Opera (1943)
Director: Arthur Lubin
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Very pretty to look at, with lush Technicolor, handsome sets, and even a fetchingly sculptured mask to give Claude Rains' rather benign Phantom the look of a contented feline. The accent is more on musical extravaganza than horror, with endless operatic snippets for Eddy and Foster to warble, making it all a somewhat tiresome waste of Rains' performance.Author: TM
