THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

"The most commonly available version, this release is visual-only representation with musical accompaniment) of the 1929 sound reissue for foreign markets (note that the title sequence and Carlotta's performance as Marguerite are shot at sound speed of 24 frames per second) and is the best surviving 35mm version of the film. Far beneath the Paris Opera House, a mysterious Phantom advances the career of an understudy to the female lead role in Faust in hopes of claiming her for his love. The tour-de-force is Lon Chaney's acting beneath several variations of masks and makeup, rescuing wooden supporting characters and pedestrian directing by Rupert Julian." Directed by Director: Rupert Julian and Edward Sedgewick in 1929. Film in public domain and available at Archive.org.
