    Fine version of classic horror/love story/tragedy...minus music, of course.

    Esta luxuosa produção é bem-sucedida ao resgatar a grandiosidade da Ópera, mas falha justamente por permitir que seus valores técnicos transformem o Fantasma em coadjuvante.

    Not very frightening, but the most impressively mounted version of the story.
