Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
This adaptation of
Gaston Leroux's
indefatigable "grand guignol" piece
The Phantom of
the Opera stars British actor
Charles Dance
as Erik the Phantom. This adaptation by playwright
Arthur
Kopit soft-pedals the horrific elements of the story to concentrate on the
love the tragic Erik bears toward innocent chorus singer
Teri Polo.
The film boasts a stronger supporting cast than was usual for a TV movie,
including Burt
Lancaster (as the masked phantom's father),
Ian Richardson
and Jean-Pierre
Cassel. The 1990
Phantom of the
Opera reunited director
Tony Richardson
and composer
John Addison, who'd both won Oscar for
Tom Jones.
Filmed on location in France,
Phantom was
originally telecast in two two-hour installments.
