Thanks -- I used to write a lot of very eloquent film reviews, before
I went in for fan-fiction (I only have a certain quotient of
creativity, I'm afraid, and it's getting channelled elsewhere at the
moment). As a result I've been amused to see my comments on otherwise
obscure films cropping up on DVD sleeves, in British Film Institute
information sheets, and elsewhere on the Web :-D
I believe Claude Rains did play the Phantom, although I haven't
seen the film; I thought you were more likely to have come across him
in "The Invisible Man" ;-p
It was actually his performances in "Notorious" and "The Passionate
Friends" that I was thinking of, where he goes a fair way towards
stealing the film in unpromising cuckolded husband roles:
