"Phantom of the Opera" (1943)

Previously, I was more familiar with more recent versions of this tale. In some ways, I like this one better. It really is a nice version to LOOK at. Pleasant to watch, pleasant to listen to. It starts a little earlier in the story and takes a slightly different tack to the story line. I actually really like the ending (several pieces of the story line and one of the scene's visual compositions). (I do have to admit I like some of the Phantom's screams/laughs better in later versions.)

SPOILER ALERT: I like the visual composition of the dusty violin and mask in the rubble.
