Plot: Tonight on MeTV, we have a pre-Christmas present for you- with a character who was part of the Universal roster of horror even before the advent of talkies! This time he is portrayed by a distinguished actor who can perfectly embody the heartbreak, fury, and insanity of- “The Phantom of the Opera”! This is the 1943 Technicolor version based on the oft-remade story written by Gaston Leroux about brilliant musician/composer Erique Claudin.
