Reviews

John Chard

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 Michae...

JPV852

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**...

CinemaSerf

This Hammer adaptation of the Gaston Leroux standard is much less a horror film; more just a story about love and betrayal. Aside from Michael Gough as the devious and loathsome "Lord Ambrose d'Arcy" the casting isn't up to very much, even Herbert Lom doesn't really seem to get into the swing of it....
