the phantom of the opera (disambiguation)
bullet::::- "phantom of the opera" (1943): featuring claude rains as the phantom and the singer susanna foster as christine. this film reused the same paris opera studio set as the original silent film and once again features the spectacular scene in which the phantom causes the chandelier to crash down on the heads of the audience. in this version, however, horror is mostly downplayed in favour of grand operatic spectacle. the phantom's animus was caused by the credit for his musical compositions being stolen by the opera's conductor. the phantom's facial disfigurement is caused by having had acid thrown in his face, rather than having being born disfigured, as in leroux's original story. this accidental disfigurement became common, and copied in later film versions.
