Viewing Notes

I was looking forward to revisiting this and it didn’t disappoint. Chaney is great in this.

Aside from the Bal Masque scene, my favorite part is near the beginning where the ballerinas are running around in a tither, having glimpsed a shadow of the phantom. They run in order, on tiptoe, even up and down the stairs, and do fun little pirouettes from time to time to accentuate their excitement.
