    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The original script revealed Claudin to be Christine's father, who abandoned her and her mother in order to pursue a musical career. When this was excised from the final film, it left Claudin's obsession with Christine unexplained.
    • Goofs
      When Christine takes the mask off from Phantom's face, we see that his scar reaches the low area of his right cheek, even the right eyelid is slightly fallen. But before that during the entire film, we never see a single mark of the scar on the uncovered area of the Phantom's face, not even the fallen eyelid through the mask.
    • Quotes

      [Christine has left Raoul and Anatole in her dressing room while she greets a crowd of admirers]

      Raoul D'Aubert: Would you join me for a bit of supper at the Cafe de l'Opera?

      Anatole Garron: With pleasure, monsieur.

      Raoul D'Aubert: Think we can get through this crowd?

      Anatole Garron: Certainly. After all, who'd pay any attention to a baritone and a detective?

    Horror(?)In Color!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm not sure if I'd call this a horror movie(it's certainly a drama).It is the result of good acting,filming,and glorious color!!!!!!!I've never seen a Universal horror movie in color other than this!The story isn't a real adaption of Gaston Leroux's novel.It has several changes made that make it different from the book.It's a must-see for movie lovers.Horror or otherwise.
