Listen "3. Claude Rains, Herbert Lom, and the Trouble with Sympathy"
Episode Synopsis
In 1943 and 1962, almost twenty years apart, two films named The Phantom of the Opera came out that not only shared several plot and character elements, but changed the story of Phantom forever. We'll talk about how the struggle to reach a wide audience, and to maintain sympathy for the Phantom, resulted in a muddling of the relationships within the story. We'll also talk about the many changes that can happen in a Hollywood film from concept to screen.As always, feel free to reach out at RedaptedPodcast or Readapted pod on most social media or at [email protected].
