This movie is a cult classic, it's older than me.. the ending is just tragic. It says a message to if you think about it.
This is one of the few musicals I actually like.. cause this is is a Rock Opera! Let's hope this classic does not get touched for a remake and butchered
che tristezza architetto pensarti ancora, alle 3 del mattino, e rimpiangere la tua grazia e la tua ironia, dopo che mi hai svenduto per poco, dopo che hai tradito un'amicizia in cui IO credevo.. che amarezza..
@rsmothersjr I was 8 years old when this came out. I was way too young too see it but I distinctly remember my oldest sister taking me later on and how much of an impact it had on my life even at that young age.
Why Rocky Horror is looked upon with such reverence and this film is still an obscure cult film just baffles me! POTP is superior in almost every aspect! Maybe it's better this way. It hasn't been overplayed or become a parody of itself like Rocky Horror has. Long live Phantom!
I'd have to guess 35 mm Celluloid. Same theater I saw Star Wars Episode IV ( The actual 1st Star Wars). At the time it was a "State of the Art" Theater in New orleans La. Actually saw it 3 or 4 times when it first came out. Then maybe 10 or 12 times at "Midnight Movies". I have owned the beta cpy, vhs, and actually found the dvd at a pawn shop Jan 2011. Avail on ebay also, where I bought the soundtrack. Which I owned on LP and Cassette. Shop around ebay. prices vary. One of a Kind. Enjoy
Just wondering, how did you see this movie in the 70's, what type of media was it? I first saw the movie on Beta tape, i think it was 1981 ot 82 lol. Just curios
Saw this so many times as a teenager in the 70's still have the sheet music in a Paul Williams complete piano music book. Great old cult movie with amazing music!
having been there at the time, I was surprised that this, and it's nearly mirror image counter part "Rocky Horror Show" were so universally ignored. As many have said here, great lyrics, incredible performances, iffy story, but it did manage to meld all the motifs promised. All in all, a superlative effort by every performer.
awesome songs from this movie, i remembered going with my sis to watch during school holidays...im 53 now ansd still love every school.. anyonwe knows what happened to mr williams? our music world needs him !! most of todays big names are rubbish!
this song gives me chills every single time i hear it. paul williams has so much heart and soul in his voice, and all his songs are absolutely beautiful. <3
@vlordimor ... one of my favorite movies, my # 1 favorite soundtrack... since '76? '77? I had this on 8 track !!!! can you enlighten me, why this is special to el salvador? the movie was about defeating evil, for the good of a loved one... I think... if I'm wrong, I think I'm close...
I think it didn't win any awards because it is just too good, way beyond the prize-giving business people, way beyond its time too. It's been compared to The Rocky Horror Show, but I find this superficial. The RHS is a brilliant musical comedy, but is little compared to this masterpiece: none of its lyricism, its darkness, above all its music. God forbid the Hollywood version they say they're about to perpetrate...
Paul Williams is in the Song Writers Hall of Fame.... Old Fashion Love song put 3 Dog night on the Charts, But His Writing in Paradize is a masterpeice.... I bow to you Pail Williams, With Love and Respect. You are 8 feet tall in my eyes
@DantescoDurante One of my favorite films of alll time! Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera combined with elements of Faust, humor, and one helluva great soundtrack!
i took this record from my dads collection when i was 4 years old, he never argued ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,30 plus years and its still as vibrant as ever.. masterpiece if you like this song check out..........odysey by KISS let me know what you think
