    • Trivia
      This is the first film version to avoid showing the Phantom's unmasked face. The stage version does the same, with the Phantom keeping his back to the audience when he removes his mask for Christine.
    • Goofs
      Christine Daae's last name is mispelled on one of the posters for the production of "Faust" inside the opera house.
    • Quotes

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: [reaches for his ears] My God! The place really is haunted; what is that?

      Gerard Carriere: Well, without looking, I would say with confidence it must be Carlotta.

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Who?

      Gerard Carriere: The new star.

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: She can't sing!

      Gerard Carriere: [chuckles] Well, obviously she doesn't know that.

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Well, someone should tell her.

      Gerard Carriere: She's married to the new manager.

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Good God. This means she's probably going to sing all the time. What kind of horror are you leaving me in?

      Gerard Carriere: Erik, what are we going to do about all of this?

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: I know what to do about it. I'll kill them both.

      Gerard Carriere: Oh, come on, now!

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: I'm teasing; probably the only one I need to kill is her.

      Gerard Carriere: Erik!

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: What has happened to your sense of humour?

      Gerard Carriere: My humour?

      Erik The Phantom of the Opera: You're right. I'm sorry. I'm just not used to killing people; it threw me off a bit.

    And the top three reasons to see this version are:
    One, Charles Dance is always terrific, playing good, bad or indifferent guys with equal aplomb and skill. (This time he's a good guy who, unfortunately, is not blessed with good looks.) Two, the sets and music are superb. And three, the final climactic aria is Charles Gounod's fabulous goosebump-raising "Anges Pur, Anges Radieux" ("Angels Pure, Angels Radiant") from "Faust". No, we don't see the Phantom's face....but Christine does, and her expression tells us everything.
