(There are a few lost films from the 1910’s that sound intriguingly like possible ancestors of Universal’s classic silent interpretation, but the surviving information about them is too sparse to support any firm conclusions one way or the other.) Yet this third version has already strayed just as far from the source material as the famously unfaithful adaptations directed by Dwight Little and Dario Argento in 19, respectively. Hammer Film Productions’ The Phantom of the Opera was only the third movie to be made from Gaston Leroux’s novel of the same name- or at any rate, it was only the third movie that can be confirmed as such.
It’s amazing how few generations it can take for adaptation drift to render a story unrecognizable.
