Average Rating: 
Rating: - A sad, menacing, sympathetic performance by Claude Raines, plus nice screaming by Susanna Foster
The 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera has always had, for me, an endearing quality of good-hearted wholesomeness, even with face-destroying acid, deranged obsession, and love so strong it corrupts.

Rating:  - Phantom of the Opera (1943)
I liked this movie. The dvd is great too. It has been transferred to DVD with great care. Great color and sound.
This is basically a romance with an element of horror. Claude Rains and Suzanna Foster are good as well as Nelson Eddy.
The dvd has some great extras
Rating: - Okay Version of a CLassic Story
I love the story of the Phantom of the Opera. This version was just okay however. It's not a bad story, but if you are a true lover of the play or classic film, this won't do it for you.
Rating: - A good POTO movie to have
I am one of many thousands of avid POTO fans and I found this movie to be a nice, original adaption of Gaston Leroux's novel. The music is good, the acting well done, and the cast was great. I also appreciate the occasional humor that was thrown in--it provided some much needed comic relief! :)If you at all a phan of Phantom of the Opera, I would recommend adding this little gem to your collection. :)
