THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERASunday, July 13 @ 11:00 am in Moviehouse 1 Erique Claudin, a violinist in the Paris Opera orchestra, suffers from arthritis and hopes to compensate for his loss of employment by selling his lifetime work, a piano concerto. With his anticipated profits, Erique wishes to continue paying for the voice-training of lovely Christine Dubois (Susanna Foster). When Erique goes to his potential publisher and is told that the manuscript has been rejected, and then hears it being played from another room, he assumes that his work has been stolen. Erique attacks and stangles the publisher, after which the latter's secretary throws acid in the composer's face. Clutching his seared flesh, Erique flees to the sewers and the sanctum beneath the Opera House. dir. Arthur Lubin, 1h32m, w/ Nelson Eddy and Claude Rains, 1943 |
