Trivia / The Phantom of the Opera (1962)

• Acclaimed Flop: Critics considered it the best Hammer movie yet, but it didn't draw audiences as much as Christopher Lee.
• Actor Allusion: The music that Herbert Lom plays as the Phantom is the same music he played as Captain Nemo in Mysterious Island (1961).
• Uncredited Role: Lucy Griffiths as a cleaner in the theatre.
• What Could Have Been: Cary Grant was considered for Hunter, and Christopher Lee was interested to play the Phantom.
