		Phantom of the Opera, a vintage Universal horror offering, makes its way to DVD in rich color with little evidence of the 1943 birth date.
		The opera teacher refuses to train Dubois without continued payment, Claudin's landlady warns him about falling behind in the rent and when, a last hope, his original sonata, is brushed aside by a publisher, Claudin loses control, kills the music publisher and is disfigured in the ensuing struggle.
		A clever staging suggested by the opera's leading man Garron leads the baritone and police inspector to the bowels of the opera house where the Phantom has imprisoned the soprano of his dreams.

	Movie Review - Phantom of the Opera (1943) - eFilmCritic
		But with so many versions of 'The Phantom of the Opera' available, it's highly unlikely that this version is one that people will be remembering fondly.
		Whereas Gerard Butler was as limp as a lettuce leaf in a puddle of water, Raines commands and scares as the Phantom.
		Instead we have endless scenes of warbling opera (except none of the Lloyd Webber's tunes) and a dull love triangle between Christine, a policeman and a baritone.

		Trivia: In April 2004 an audience of the stage version of "The Phantom of the Opera" in London were asked to stay behind at the end and record the sound effects for the movie.
		The movie, for the most part, retains much of the stage show, I'd say about 85 percent true to the show, though there were slight differences.
		To me, his singing got more and more soulful as the movie went on and his acting was an A plus, he wasn't just there to sing and look pretty, he acted the heck out of the role and succeeded in elevating the phantom from just a presence to a tortured individual.

		He is, of course, the Phantom (Gerard Butler), who mounts Christine on a horse and takes her down into the depths beneath the opera house, along a Cocteau-like corridor of (living) arms holding candelabras.
		Near the end, he and the Phantom have a saber duel in a gray and white cemetery, adding some visual liveliness to the movie, even though their battle is badly edited in an MTV style.
		The journey to the Phantom’s lair is fabulous, in several senses of the word—it’s certainly not realistic, with huge candelabras rising from the water with flames already lit.

	Phantom of the Opera 1943 DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Claude Rains portrays the sympathetic Phantom in a version that is fairly faithful to Leroux’s story, though the horror elements are downplayed.
		Universal’s 1943 version of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is also a love story with Opera and the music that accompanies it.
		Even the trademark scenes, such as the removal of the Phantom’s mask and the cutting of the chandelier are lacking suspense, and don’t have the impact of the same scenes from the 1925 silent classic or the gothic 1962 Hammer production.

	DVD.net : Phantom of the Opera (1943) - DVD Review
		While this 1943 Universal version of Gaston Leroux's timeless horror tale is certainly considered to be a classic, it's not really the 'horror' film that it is marketed as these days.
		The set pieces are grandiose and the opera performances lavish; the specific elements of high-camp humour, love triangles and saddening obsession are what make this stand out, not as the most chilling, but certainly the most memorably splendorous version.
		Rains' phantom is in comparison terribly polite about his hauntings, only straying from the path to drop one chandelier and kill all of two people.

	Review: Phantom of the Opera (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Truth be told, I am not fond of Lloyd Webber's style of music, and The Phantom of the Opera suffers from a multitude of problems, not the least of which are poor writing and an uneasy marriage between a gothic setting and big-production musical numbers.
		The trio who eventually got the lead roles are relative unknowns: Gerard Butler is the Phantom (his largest previous role was as "the Stranger" in Dear Frankie); Emmy Rossum (the dead daughter in Mystic River) is Christine; and Patrick Wilson is Raoul.
		Although the storyline has been made more coherent for the movie than it is in the stage version, it nevertheless helps to have seen a previous version of the film or to have read the novel upon which it is based.

	Movie Review: The Phantom of the Opera / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		In many ways, the 1925 Phantom of the Opera is the granddaddy of the American horror film, though it's perhaps edged out of that position by the Goldwyn production A Blind Bargain (a seemingly lost 1922 work that also starred Lon Chaney).
		Phantom certainly marks the starting point of Universal Pictures being the "home of horror," even if the movie was typical of the period, in that the film shies away from the genuinely supernatural.
		Even so, the movie still holds a place as one of the great horror films – an interesting accolade for a movie that can at best be described as uneven.

	DVD Breakdown \| Phantom of the Opera (1943)
		The narrative is rather slackly rold, with bizarrely extended opera sequences and bland, flat lighting necessary to accomodate the three-strip Technicolor process used at the time.
		The eight movies that were selected as Universal's 'Classic Monster Collection' were released on Region 1 DVD some years ago, but have since gone out of print and have been put on moratorium by Universal, awaiting a re-release.
		The mono sound mix is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0, with a general lack of dynamic range most fully apparent during the extensive opera sequences, which tend to sound muted and flat.

	VH1.com : Movies : Movie : The Phantom of the Opera : Review
		This Technicolor retelling of the Gaston Leroux "grand guignol" classic The Phantom of the Opera has a little more opera than phantom, but that's because the stars are soprano Susannah Foster and tenor Nelson Eddy.
		Soon afterward, the Paris Opera house is plagued by a series of mysterious accidents.
		The same can be said for the rest of this 1943 remake, though in fairness it appears as though the film wasn't really designed to scare anyone, but instead to serve as a suspense yarn with musical interludes.

		Carlotta, the prima donna of the opera, is furious because she receives many notes threatening her if she does not yield her role to the young ingenue, Christine Daae.
		Realizing that he is the Phantom, she faints, later awakening in a room that has been prepared as if for a queen.
		Edward Sedgwick, better known as a fast-paced comedy director, was assigned to direct a new climax in which the Phantom escapes the mob by commandeering a carriage with a subsequent chase on foot through the Paris streets to the bank of the Seine.

		Happily, Joel Schumacher's "Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera," with a screenplay by the work's musical genius Andrew Lloyd Webber in collaboration with the director, is a gem.
		Indeed the most thrilling scenes in the movie take place not between Christine Daae and her handsome but bland childhood sweetheart, the wealthy Vicomte Raoul de Chagny (Patrick Wilson), but between Christine and the Phantom.
		A small segment of the picture is taken up with a flashback to the source of the Phantom's loneliness: as a result of a childhood disease that has eaten away part of his face, he is abandoned by his family, eking out a living as a caged, reviled figure in a freak show.

		Like some fans, I've always found this film tough to like; I detest opera and have never cared much for the meager makeup design when Rains is unmasked (though he looks cool in costume).
		Now I have a fresh re-evaluation for the movie, even if the appeal stems from rich vivid colors and a grand-looking production rather than the actual story as it plays across my screen.
		I thought the documentary was well done this time around, incorporating the whole history of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA as well as a nod to the other film versions.
