The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
Country: US
Technical: bw/col 94m
Director: Rupert Julian
Cast: Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin
Synopsis:
The Paris Opera is haunted by a phantom figure, who soon solidifies into a sender of notes, taking an unhealthy interest in the career of the understudy for the role of Marguerite in Gounod's Faust. He threatens dire consequences if she is not given the role.
Review:
Lavish, classic version of Leroux's famous story. Carl Laemmle and Universal spare no expense, with magnificent sets and tinted sequences, and Chaney unveils perhaps his greatest makeup creation in the celebrated unmasking scene.
