Anyway, I'd recommend the book if you ever come across an old paperback reprint, though I don't know now if it's still as good as I remember...
If I see it, I'll read it.
I think you must be the first person I've ever heard of who recognised Claude Rains and Basil Rathbone as headline actors before encountering Errol Flynn :-P
I'd already seen Claude Rains in Casablanca and Basil Rathbone in the 1940 version of The Mark of Zorro (as I mentioned above), so yeah. :P
And hey, didn't Rains play Erik in the 1943 Phantom movie?
I just wish the period costumes in this production did Olivia de Havilland's beauty a few more favours!
