Review of The Phantom of the Opera (1962) by Trey L — 08 Jan 2010
Okay, so it's set in London instead of Paris, gives a completely different backstory to the title character, and in all honesty features more Opera than Phantom. Even so, I love this movie - Michael Gough is wonderfully sleazy, and Herbert Lom manages to do more with one eye visible behind a full mask than some actors manage with their entire face visible.
An underrated gem from Hammer Studios.
