"The Phantom of the Opera" (1929)
At the Opera of Paris, a mysterious phantom threatens a famous lyric singer, Carlotta and thus forces her to give up her role (Marguerite in Faust) for unknown Christine Daae.
Christine meets this phantom (a masked man) in the catacombs, where he lives.
Most prints of this movie are from the 1929 reissue version. This version is from 1925. Phantom of the Opera was remade several times.
In 1943, director Arthur Lubin produced a 92 minute color version. Oscar winner for Cinematography and Art Direction.

In 1962, Phantom of the Opera was directed by Terence Disher, starring Herbert Lom, Heather Sears. 84 minute British production.
In 1989, director Dwight H. Little produced the fourth version of Phantom of the Opera with Robert England and Jill Schoelen. Shot in Budapest, but set in London.
The 1999 Italian version of The Phantom of the Opera was directed by Dario Argento.
The most commonly available version, this release is visual-only representation with musical accompaniment) of the 1929 sound reissue for foreign markets (note that the title sequence and Carlotta's performance as Marguerite are shot at sound speed of 24 frames per second) and is the best surviving 35mm version of the film (the 1925 general release version only exists in 16mm show-at-home prints and is of very poor quality).
Far beneath the Paris Opera House, a mysterious Phantom advances the career of an understudy to the female lead role in Faust in hopes of claiming her for his love. The tour-de-force is Lon Chaney's acting beneath several variations of masks and makeup, rescuing wooden supporting characters and pedestrian directing by Rupert Julian.
