A unique and haunting interpretation of Gaston Leroux's grand guignol classic. The classic tale of the disfigured musician who haunts the London Opera House (a change from Paris for this version) and kidnaps the young soprano he loves. The addition of an evil dwarf makes for heightened drama.

Jack Cardiff received a 1960 Oscar® Nomination as Best Director for this lush, engaging film starring Trevor Howard, Dean Stockwell and Donald Pleasence, which was adapted from D.H. Lawrence’s classic novel. A young man with artistic talent who lives in a close-knit, English coal-mining town during the early 20th Century finds himself inhibited by his emotionally manipulative, domineering mother.
