6.0This Hammer adaptation of the Gaston Leroux standard is much less a horror film; more just a story about love and betrayal. Aside from Michael Gough as the devious and loathsome "Lord Ambrose d'Arcy" the casting isn't up to very much, even Herbert Lom doesn't really seem to get into the swing of it. What is does have to distinguish it from other versions is it's own score to "Joan of Arc" and some lovely arias from Patricia Clark. The ending is rather better, too.
