The Phantom: I am going to teach you to sing, Christine. I am going to give you a new voice! A voice so wonderful that theatres all over the world will be filled with your admirers. You will be the greatest star the opera has ever known. Greater than the greatest! And when you sing, Christine, you will be singing only... for me.See more »
Although I would consider this POTO movie to be the farthest from the Leroux novel, it still is DEFINITELY worth the investment of your time. It is excellently plotted, with the Phantom (Herbert Lom) giving a wonderful sympathetic performance. DEFINITELY a 10/10!!!
