Entertaining rendition with nice performances from Herbert Lom and to some extent Heather Sears, plus seeing Michael Gough playing such a scoundrel was new to me as only really knew him as Alfred… The music is fine and all in all, was a solid film, nothing terribly memorable however. **3.5/5**

And when you sing, Christine, you will be singing only for me.

The Phantom of the Opera is out of Hammer Film Productions and directed by Terence Fisher. Based on the Gaston Leroux novel, the screenplay is written by John Elder and it stars Herbert Lom, Heather Sears, Edward de Souza and Michael Gough. Filmed in Eastman Color, cinematography is by Arthur Grant and music by Edwin Astley.

The latest opera production of Joan of Arc is beset with problems, prompting many to believe it’s the work of a mysterious phantom who haunts those involved with the show.

It has been the basis for a number of adaptations, the Leroux novel’s core story proving to be fascinating enough to prompt writers, film makers and musical directors to produce their take on it. Of the film versions, it’s still the Lon Chaney silent of 1925 that carries the highest horror value, but for style and substance I feel Hammer’s version is the best of the bunch. Fisher’s film is played wonderfully straight, the production is given much care and consideration, but in the main the makers let the story sell itself. The characters remain interesting and in the case of the phantom himself, he smartly gets a back story shown late in the day amid off-kilter camera angles. This really gives the film a dramatic thrust as it heads into the finale, where the pay off is exciting and emotionally tight (one of the finest tear sheds in cinema is right here).

A voice so wonderful that theatres all over the world will be filled with your admirers.

Cast wise the film is led superbly by Lom’s performance as the sad and tragic phantom. Lom manages to elicit sympathy with minimal dialogue and pure body language, giving this phantom an irresistible vulnerability that hits home hard as the film closes down. Around him it’s Gough who is having the most fun playing villain of the piece Ambrose D’Arcy, and he does it well. De Souza is adequate as love interest Harry Hunter, but Sears, whilst certainly pretty and a decent actress, lacks believability in the scenes shared with the phantom. Note worthy is a quality cameo that comes from Patrick Troughton; even if it does make us hanker for more of him in the picture.

Fisher’s direction is tight and smooth, if lacking some of the camera flourishes that other Hammer films have benefited from. While Grant’s Eastman Color photography adds a zest to the period flavouring by bringing the well designed sets to the fore. Astley’s music is standard genre stuff, but easy listening for sure. Bonus is to hear Toccata and Fugue in D minor, it’s now disputed as to if it actually was composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, but regardless it’s a haunting piece of organ music that has the power to induce chills down the old spinal cord area. Particularly when used location wise as it is here.

A lovely adaptation of the source, Hammer’s version may not be as horror based as some would like, but it more than makes up for that with style, substance and a quality turn from the leading man. 8/10

Dramatic Hammer Version
“The Phantom of the Opera” by Hammer is a dramatic version directed by Terence Fisher. The screenplay shows the phantom as a poor composer that is stolen by the arrogant and corrupt Lord Ambrose D’Arcy, who is the real villain of the story. The sets and costumes are magnificent associated to great performances in one of the best films of the famous story by Gaston Leroux. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): “O Fantasma da Ópera” (“The Phantom of the Opera”)

Good, but Odly Enough, Not for The Phantom Himself
Have you ever heard of a movie where the title character him/herself is the weakest part of the film? Well, I haven’t until I came across this version of Phantom of the Opera. However, before I get to that, let’s talk about some good things. I really liked how the story was handled. I really like the mystery aspect of this film. Even though it was easy to put two and two together, it was really good and interesting build up to a really cool flashback scene towards the end of the film. I was also quite fond of the character Harry, who is basically the Raoul character of the story. While I think he could’ve used some flaws to make him more relatable, this version of the character really does him justice. He actually listens to Christine, he’s always there for her, he does proactive things to help her and is just a really sweet guy. Even though he and Christine didn’t know each other very long, I thought their romance was really believable, cute and sweet. They aren’t the most fascinating characters but they have a believable relationship and were enough to keep me invested in them and the story. Now onto the main flaw with the movie: the Phantom himself. Now I won’t say that everything about this character is bad. I actually quite liked his backstory, even if it was a bit too similar to the forties film, and how they handled revealing it. However, the character himself is extremely lacking. First off, his obsession with Christine comes completely out of nowhere. He saw her perform once and then all of a sudden starts stalking her and kidnaps her at one point. It’s extremely rushed. Also, the Phantom does something completely unforgivable in my eyes, which I will spoil so navigate away if you don’t want that. While the Phantom is forcing Christine to sing for him in his lair, she stops singing for a moment, thinking she can’t do it and the Phantom slaps her across the face! I’m not joking, he really does that at the time mark 56:29 of the movie! Yes, the Phantom does many terrible things in every adaptation but that just crosses the line way too far. You know what’s odd though? The Phantom and Christine don’t have any sort of romantic feelings for each other in this version, which at first glance wasn’t a very big loss for me since I usually hate that couple anyways. However, after watching the ending, I realized it actually was a big loss because the Phantom not only sacrifices his life to save hers but she cries at his death. I’m sorry but the only thing between these two was that he stalked her, forced her to do something she clearly didn’t want to do and hit her when she didn’t until Harry came along and told him to knock it off. If you wanted The Phantom’s death to impact Christine, we should’ve seen what happened between the Phantom and Christine after the Phantom agreed to train her less harshly. I’ll admit, the way his death scene was executed did draw a little emotion from me but that scene and the whole end of the movie in general was too rushed for the emotion to build and have any meaning. Overall, this is a good movie but not really for the Phantom himself.
