Program 3: Phantom of the Opera (1943)
(In English with Spanish subtitles).

Overview: A Paris Opera violinist, madly in love with Christine Dubois, a young aspiring soprano, is fired because his left hand is no longer as skilled as before. Alone and penniless, after having spent everything to pay - unbeknownst to her - for Christine's singing lessons, he decides to publish a concert in order to complete the soprano's instruction and become famous. But, because of a misunderstanding, he attacks his publisher, and the latter's secretary disfigures his face with acid. He then takes refuge in the cellars of the Opera and, since then, acts as a ghost whose menacing shadow lurks in the dark and sows panic among the audience.
