This is, by far, the most beautiful presentation of Phantom I know of. I downloaded this version from Archive.org as soon as I saw it was available there. Unfortunately the score is almost inaudible, even with my speakers blasting full strength. So I added my own score. I went with several pieces from Beethoven's 9'th. Can't go wrong there!!!
@TheBlackndwhitepictu I think that scene was to hard to restore, did you see the black and white version, it was barely visable, so I guess no colour really made it better!
This is how silent films used to be presented. Color tints were added for theatre goers and music was played live, and according to the film itself. Great upload.
@trans8010 now they just did released the movie on blu ray

@chikotube No blu-ray has been issued of the 25/29 original. I'm sure if there ws the web would be buzzing with news, like with Metropolis.
