Following a tragic accident that leaves him disfigured, crazed composer Erique Claudin transforms into a masked phantom who schemes to make beautiful young soprano Christine Dubois (Susanna Foster) the star of the opera and wreak revenge on those who stole his music. A heroic baritone (Nelson Eddy) tries to win the affections of Christine as he tracks down the disfigured "monster" who has begun murdering those who resist his mad demands. Inspired by the original 1925 silent version, this lavish Technicolor production remains one of the most unforgettable adaptations ever to be filmed.Bonus Content:The Opera Ghost: A Phantom UnmaskedProduction PhotographsFeature Commentary with Film Historian Scott MacQueenTheatrical Trailer100 Years of Universal: The Lot Review: An All Time Classic - This adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, which won three Oscars, is incontrovertibly the best to have ever been produced by Universal Studios (on the oldest remaining set in Hollywood, which is reputed to be haunted), and remains a classic till this day, which is entertaining and infused with wit and humor (and will have you roaring with laughter), when you witness in much amusement the attempts of a police man and a Baritone vying for the affection of Christine DuBois, an understudy of the lead Soprano at The Paris Opera House, whom the Baritone, Erique Claudin, wants to see take the leading role, even as an arthritic violinist (who was forced to relinquish his position at The Opera House, given the fact that he was creating discord in the orchestra), was forced to cease his covert support for her tutelage in the Operatic Arts and, hence, conceives of a diabolical plot to have her replace the lead by poisoning the latter, thereby, enabling Christine’s talent to be demonstrated to uproarious applause from an appreciating audience, only to find the lead Soprano forbidding her to remain her understudy and demanding that she return to the unassuming position of a Chorus Girl, spurring Anatole Garron (the violinist), who had by this time assumed the role of The Phantom (when a Music Publisher’s Assistant had splashed acid on his face after he had confronted the publisher under the mistaken notion that the latter had stolen his concerto) to murder the lead Soprano in a failed attempt to have her replace the lead, which sees him wrecking havoc on The Opera House by severing the chain of a Chandelier and have it crashing down upon the audience; and, having done so, witnessing Anatole abducting Christine and taking her to the catacombs of the sewer beneath The Opera House in an attempt to have her sing to his ears only, only to find Raoul Daubert, the police man, bring about the collapse of The Opera House, by firing a shot, and rescue Christine. An elaborate production with a cast of thousands, a wonderfully crafted script, commendable performances, impeccable incorporation of Operatic Performances within a drama infused with comedic elements, grand stage design, and the best Operatic Performance by a Hungarian Singer playing the part of Christine is sure to mesmerize you and draw you into this magical world that will etch itself in your mind as the most memorable Phantom of the Opera to have graced the Silver Screen. Highly recommended. Review: Fantastic production - To me, Susanna Foster was a top Soprano and unappreciated. The movie was fabulous but it was released in 1943 when the world was at war, which explains why the movie never received accolades that it deserved. Edward Ward did a fantastic job in composing some scores such as La Prince Masque du Caucasas associated with the addition of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4. Also Ward composed Lullaby of the Bells which was the Phantom's piano concerto. Another fascinating fact is a Soprano named Sally Sweetland dubbed the singing for actress Jane Farrar Chopin's Amor et Gloire. Sweetland dubbed many actresses in a number of movie musicals. The BluRay edition is breathtaking with the beauty of the music productions. Nelson Eddy's singing is nothing but superb! The set was built almost two decades previously by Carl Lemmle as a replica of the Paris Opera House for the Silent Version Sadly that famous Stage was torn down a year ago which was Universal's big tourist attraction. Thank you for allowing me to convey what I consider only some of the interesting facts regarding this movie production. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00C1AIMWK | | Actors | Claude Rains, Edgar Barrier, Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,757 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,674 in Horror (Movies & TV) #4,359 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (130) | | Director | Arthur Lubin | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1125748 | | Language | English (DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | George Waggner | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | June 4, 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 29 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Arthur Lubin, Claude Rains, Edgar Barrier, George Waggner, Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster - **Format:** Blu-ray, NTSC - **Genre:** Drama, Horror, Mystery & Suspense - **Initial release date:** 2013-06-04 - **Language:** English ## Images ![- Phantom of the Opera (1943) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71crPFFoA6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An All Time Classic *by H***G on August 28, 2014* This adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, which won three Oscars, is incontrovertibly the best to have ever been produced by Universal Studios (on the oldest remaining set in Hollywood, which is reputed to be haunted), and remains a classic till this day, which is entertaining and infused with wit and humor (and will have you roaring with laughter), when you witness in much amusement the attempts of a police man and a Baritone vying for the affection of Christine DuBois, an understudy of the lead Soprano at The Paris Opera House, whom the Baritone, Erique Claudin, wants to see take the leading role, even as an arthritic violinist (who was forced to relinquish his position at The Opera House, given the fact that he was creating discord in the orchestra), was forced to cease his covert support for her tutelage in the Operatic Arts and, hence, conceives of a diabolical plot to have her replace the lead by poisoning the latter, thereby, enabling Christine’s talent to be demonstrated to uproarious applause from an appreciating audience, only to find the lead Soprano forbidding her to remain her understudy and demanding that she return to the unassuming position of a Chorus Girl, spurring Anatole Garron (the violinist), who had by this time assumed the role of The Phantom (when a Music Publisher’s Assistant had splashed acid on his face after he had confronted the publisher under the mistaken notion that the latter had stolen his concerto) to murder the lead Soprano in a failed attempt to have her replace the lead, which sees him wrecking havoc on The Opera House by severing the chain of a Chandelier and have it crashing down upon the audience; and, having done so, witnessing Anatole abducting Christine and taking her to the catacombs of the sewer beneath The Opera House in an attempt to have her sing to his ears only, only to find Raoul Daubert, the police man, bring about the collapse of The Opera House, by firing a shot, and rescue Christine.

The sound is magnificent and you get to see the "Technicolor look" brilliantly.
