Transplanting the action over to home soil in London, this iteration of The Phantom of the Opera shares the adventures of Harry Hunter (Edward De Souza), director at the London Opera House, Christine Charles (Heather Sears), a newcomer to the cast of singers and rising star, and Lord Ambrose D’Arcy (Michael Gough), the greedy, despicable owner of the institution. Being such specialists in breathing new life into old horror tales, it would only seem befitting that they would try their hand at a new adaptation of French author Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera novel. Even in 2015, long after the studio’s heyday, cinephiles continue to look back at and appreciate the work Hammer put out during those three illustrious decades. Founded in 1934 in England, the production company earned an outstanding sequence of success in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s by re-appropriating several well known horror stories like The Mummy and Dracula, as well as concocting several original concepts.
Hammer Film Productions is one of the oldest, most respected film studios to ever earn significant popularity.
