Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism
This week...more from the great Hammer studios as we continue our Hammer horror retrospective
The Phantom of the Opera (1962)
Composer Lord Ambrose D'Arcy (Michael Gough) and his backer, Harry Hunter (Edward De Souza), struggle to find a replacement for the female lead in their new opera after she quits in the wake of a gruesome murder. When a new prospect, the nubile Christine Charles (Heather Sears), disappears, Harry cautiously investigates. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked man (Herbert Lom) who is eerily familiar with the opera holds Christine captive and offers to groom her to play the part.
"I caught a couple o' beauties tonight. Fat. Like young puppies they are."
