Synopsis
The classic story with Maximilian Schell as the underground 'monster' deep in the recesses of the Paris Opera House, well hidden from cruel and prying eyes. But when he falls in love with the beauteous opera singer (Jane Seymour), he becomes aware of his intense loneliness; in desperation, the Phantom kidnaps his love and carries her back to his secret lair. Assuring her that he will never harm her, he asks only one thing: that she never remove his mask... Can she resist

4.0 out of 5 stars Operatic review, 8 May 2006
By T. Kay (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This movie starts on a high note and continues along the same stream, Jane Seymour makes a fabulous American opera singer and although the movie does tend to jump around a bit, I would say that this version has done justice to the horrific nature of Gaston Leroux's novel. I would reccomend this to anyone who would like to see a version of Phantom of the Opera but would not compare it with other versions as the basic plot is the same but the characters and storyline are different.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Changes, Same Story..., 24 Nov 2007
By K. Boddy "N.V.R" (Cornwall, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I admit that I wasn't expecting a lot from this film. It does have a typically 80s production look, but aside from the begining this didn't hinder my enjoyment of the film at all.

Both the Phantom's mask and his lair are rather more gothic-looking than in some other productions, and while the film does veer from the original story for some parts, the overall spirit of the novel is still there. In the 'great reveal' scene the lines are actually taken directly from the Leroux text, which I feel helps link the two versions while still allowing them seperate identites.

Acting is good - particularly Maximilian Schell, who makes a wonderfully tortured Phantom. Jane Seymour is lovely as always, and Michael York is, well, brilliant (I'm a bit of a York fan).

If I was to give a negative at all, I think perhaps that there was a strange lack of atmosphere in several places. Although I enjoyed it I wasn't particularly gripped - whether this is due to how many adaptations of Phantom I've seen/read, or to the film itself I can't say.

Still, I would reccomend this to anyone except the Leroux purists out there.
