@cubsfaninstlouis: that Is the problem w the world today. People love modern, boring music, sung by breathy voices, but despise beautiful music, sung by strong, rich voices. Especially the opera Marta.
I love this movie. It is better than the Lloyd -Weber musical. I love that opera Martha which is sung by Nelson Eddy at the opening It is the greatest comic opera. Unfortunately, it is not popular today.
@xJoycexVampirex Yeah..:cuddly Erik" as some have called him haha. The singing is great too..after watching them sing the trio in Faust and looking up the translation makes me want to learn french :)
I really love this movie, especially the orchestra at 1:22 through 6:28. The singing and the music are so great, a pity that you can't find music like that in movies these days
Omg, thank you so much for uploading this!!! I've been searching everywhere for it, on DVD, on other websites... I seriously love you so much for doing this!!
hummm... why are the character's last names different?!?!?! and why is Raoul an inpecteur intead of a viscount!!! this is like so different compared with the book itself!!! personaly i don't understand why this movie is called an ADAPTATION! anyway it's cool to see how old movies like this one were made! thanks for the videos!
@LerouxsPhantom True -- just look at the all the different Dracula adaptations. They always switch characters or even composite them. This movie is great, by the way, thank you for posting it!
"Based on" does not mean "adapted from." Check the credits at the beginning. More or less, it draws inspiration from the original story, but takes it in a very different direction (and an interesting one for being made when Universal wasn't in the habit of taking any risks). Of course, this all depends on your interpretation of the film. I would consider it the most interesting story in the Universal monster line-up.
I agree. I think that if all the Phantom films followed the same plot and had the same interpretation of Erik, it would be pretty boring (and there would be no point of them adapting it so often).
acording to A. L. Webber this is a remake of the chaney version

good movie but can't live up to the lon chaney version. this one seemed more like a romance while the 1925 film was much more of a horror film.

Truly a fantastic film. Even though it is a remake, it is a good one, and it still contains that eerie Universal horror.

I like Erik's hesitation with Christine in 1990's. I like how he can have a conversation and relationships with people in that one.
I love the book(:

Yeah, it's a bit weird how they change the names so much. That said, they do that in most of the movie versions.
And you're welcome! :D
