Description:
This spectacular retelling of Gaston Leroux's immortal horror tale stars Claude Rains as the masked phantom of the Paris opera house - a crazed composer who schemes to make a beautiful young soprano (Susanna Foster) the star of the opera company and wreak revenge on those who stole his music. Nelson Eddy, the heroic baritone, tries to win the affections of Foster as he tracks down the disfigured 'monster' who has begun murdering those who resist his mad demands. This lavish production remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.

Susanna Foster and Nelson Eddy, on the other hand, get plenty of screen time to warble. Well worth a visit just for the look of the film, which won an Oscar for cinematography. --Tom Keogh

I liked this movie. The dvd is great too. It has been transferred to DVD with great care. Great color and sound.
This is basically a romance with an element of horror. Claude Rains and Suzanna Foster are good as well as Nelson Eddy.
The dvd has some great extras

I am one of many thousands of avid POTO fans and I found this movie to be a nice, original adaption of Gaston Leroux's novel. The music is good, the acting well done, and the cast was great. I also appreciate the occasional humor that was thrown in--it provided some much needed comic relief! :)If you at all a phan of Phantom of the Opera, I would recommend adding this little gem to your collection. :)
