The Worst Phantom Ever/ Worst Ending
While this is a beautifully made film, what with the lovely color and cinematography plus the Paris Opera set, the film was very disappointing because of the comedy elements. Raoul and Anatole (Nelson Eddy) become a comic duo in the old fashioned 30's style of Abbot and Costello or something like that. Christine chooses neither Raol or Anatole as her romantic interest and instead chooses a career in opera. None of this is true to the original novel by Gaston Leroux. This version is the worst when compared to the Lon Cheney version, the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and even other adaptations on film.
