Anecdotes
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.

Gaffes
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.

Citations
[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?

Barely About the Phantom

This slow, tedious, dramatically inert version of the famous Gothic tale is heavy on the warbling opera and light on anything else that might have made it interesting. The origin story of the titular phantom goes on forever, making you wonder if he's ever going to make an appearance. Then once he does, we get scene after scene of long opera numbers while he lurks around in the background waiting, like us, for the story to go somewhere. It doesn't.

The film looks sensational, I'll give it that. This is one of those Technicolor extravaganzas that looks ravishing instead of garish. Clearly, the whole film was an excuse to show off sumptuous sets and costumes; it's just a shame that they chose this story to do that with rather than some lighthearted musical.

Claude Rains is always a welcome presence, but he can't save this film.

The film deservedly won Oscars for its color art direction and cinematography and was nominated for its musical scoring and sound recording. Had a costume design category existed in 1943, it would likely have been nominated for that as well.

Grade: D+
