Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The fourth film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera (and the second one by Universal), released in the year 1943.Paris Opera House violinist Erique Claudin (Claude Rains) finds himself out of a job due to his deteriorating playing skills, which proves to be a problem as he needs the money to pay for the singing lessons for Christine Dubois (Susanna Foster), a rising young talent in the opera, whom he is obsessed over. He tries to have his concerto published in order to fix his money problems, but due to a tragic mistake, he ends up disfigured and on the run from the law. He then takes refuge in the underground tunnels of the Opera House, and sets out to help Christine in her career, no matter how many corpses he must leave behind.While this film is considered a core part of the Universal Monster franchise it is usually overshadowed by the 1925 silent film, even during its time of release. However, it is this 1943 version that is included in Universal Monsters DVD sets due to the fact that it is still owned by Universal whereas the 1925 film fell into public domain. Though the 1925 film is still the one used on all of Universal's other merchandise (besides DVD and Blu Rays).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Aside from being a massive financial success of the time, this is the only Universal Horror film to win an Oscar, winning the awards for Art Direction and Cinematography. | |

All There in the Manual: It's never stated, but Claudin is in fact Christine's Disappeared Dad (hence the transferral of the third member of the Love Triangle to Anatole). Universal decided to cut all references to this lest it add accidental Incest Subtext for viewers who remembered the setup in the 1925 film. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
Phantom of the Opera (1943) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Instead for a having skull for a face, the Phantom only has a very nasty acid burn around his right eye. | |

Abominable Auditorium | |
Phantom of the Opera (1943) / int_ffb70786 | comment |
Abominable Auditorium: In a twist on the usual appearance of this trope, the Paris Opera is a perfectly reputable business with no seedy underbelly... up until Eric Claudin moves in following his disfigurement and begins the Phantom's reign of terror. | |
