And he also played a part in popularizing Cap’n Crunch for generations of cereal-chomping kids. A very strange trailer is included as the third CD "scene".(NEXSTAR) – He won multiple Emmys.
But the performance itself is well worth it, after one figures all this out. Should have been re-edited for home viewers. Tres abrupt! Viewers must fiddle around with controls to jump to the "next scene", the film's concluding half, and sit through those titles again. The first installment ends suddenly with the huge chandelier crashing down on opera patrons. The TV film originally ran on two different nights, with complete, long opening titles and closing credits run both times. Direction, sets, locations are all absolutely outstanding.

Unlike that famous organ scene in the Lon Chaney 1925 silent, we never see Erik's face. Veteran character actor Charles Dance does a fine job as Erik, the Phantom, as does Burt Lancaster as the ousted manager. Ferréol demands the leading roles in every opera, refuses to give lovely ingenue Teri Polo lessons, but lets her stay on as her costume girl and dresser to lesser players. He's in a very different role for him, which couldn't keep out his usual officious nature behind a very strange semi-Italian accent! I imagine he relished every second of it.

Gerard Carriere: Well, obviously she doesn't know that.Įrik The Phantom of the Opera: Well, someone should tell her. Gerard Carriere: Well, without looking, I would say with confidence it must be Carlotta.Įrik The Phantom of the Opera: She can't sing! Erik The Phantom of the Opera: My God! The place really is haunted what is that?
