DVD Reviews of Phantom of the Opera [1990 TV Mini Series]

DVD Review: I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this after my son (11)saw the Gerard Butler version a few years ago and fell in love with it. He was even the Phantom of the Opera for Halloween. My son did not like it as well because it did not have the catchy music that he loved in the modern version. I, on the other hand, loved it and got so much more out of the story in this adaptation.

DVD Review: fell in love
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this mini-series on PBS years ago and fell in love with it and when I saw it was for sell I snatched it up. I still love it it is in the same leigue with Andrew Lloydd Webber's Phantom. Great rendition of the Phantom story, great actors great score.

DVD Review: The Phantom of the Opera (1990 tv mini series)
Summary: 5 Stars

I fell in love with this movie when it came on tv in 1990. The Phantom, played by Charles Dance, was my favorite! I loved it when the Phantom put the rats on Carlotta! That was the absolute best scene! I'm so glad you offered this movie! Thank you!

DVD Review: Lovely.
Summary: 5 Stars

At first, I could not believe my eyes at the way he approached her, so...close. But you know what, after I got the heck over that and all the other different things in this one, I loved it. It was wonderfully refreshing and I daresay original. It was a tragically lovely new way to look at the story of Erik and his Christine.

DVD Review: Artistic Phantom with a twist
Summary: 5 Stars

This verison of the Phantom is like watching a picutre diary of the Phantom and Christine's love story. THe love story begins when Gerard Carrier(Burt Lancaster) is dismissed from his post as manager of the Paris Oper house, and new manager named Cholet and his wife Carolotta take over management of the opera hous. Erik the Phantom(Charles Dance) can't stand Carolotta with her diva personality and her husband who will give her anything she wants. At this time of transition Christine Daae(Terri Polo) comes to the Paris Opera house sent by the Comte de Chagny(Adam Stoke) for music lessons. Carolotta can't stand the fact that Christine is beatiuful and lovable so she puts her to work in the costume department. She has no place to stay and lives in an old storage room in the Opera hous. One night as Christine is singing by herself on the stage Erik sees her and approaches her with an offer for music lessons. As the lessons progress Christine becomes an angelic singer and Erik the Phantom falls more in love with her.
Weeks later, she sings at the Bistro and everyone is awestruck with the voice that came from the silent girl. Christine then begins to rekindle her relationship with the Comte de Changhy. Later she is asked to sing the lead in "Faust", but Carolotta gives her something and she loses her voice. The Phantom is fuirous, and he makes the...fall. Then he takes Christine down to his lair where he reverages Carlotta for Christine. Carrier finds Christine and tries to convince her to go, but she doesn't leave. Carrier begins to tell her the story of Erik's past, and he confesses that he is father to Erik. Christine decides not to leave, and goes on a pinic with Erik in the lovely forrest near his home. She asks to see his...and faints. Then Christine tries to escape and does. Soon, "Faust" is sung again with Christine and the Phantom and the end of this movie will touch your heart and make you feel romantic!
This film is highly romantic unlike the other Phantom reworkings of the story, and was based on a play by Arthur Kopit, which is supposed to have been the greatest hit to never come to Broadway or the West End. The director of photography did a wonderful job with the frames of this film. The light is lovely, and though the film is slow-paced you feel as if is it worth your time for the character development. Charles Dance and Terri Polo definetly have chemistry on screen. Though it may have never made it to the big screen this film is made with the greatest quality work. This great for any Phantom fan who didn't get enough from ALW 2004 film, I wonder why they won't do another one? Recommended for family watching as well. Praise all artist who worked on this film with such loving caring.

Description of Phantom of the Opera [1990 TV Mini Series]

This is a Region Free DVD of the classic 1990 TV mini series THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA starring Burt Lancaster, Teri Polo and Charles Dance 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 Christine Daee (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 Oscars for "Tom Jones". Filmed on location in France, Phantom was originally telecast in two 90 minute installments. Please note this is a Korean import DVD. Although there is some Korean writing on the outer packaging, the film menus and audio are completely in English. There are optional (removable) Korean and English subtitles available. The movie quality is equal to the US version.
