1974ref. 148219Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1974. Eight vintage color lobby cards from the 1974 film. One of the greatest and most garish rock musicals ever made imposing a wild psychedelic pop veneer on the "Phantom of the Opera" and Faust stories and updating them to the present-day of 1970s mega-record-label-dominated culture. Written and directed by De Palma at the beginning of his "classic" period of the 1970s and 1980s on the heels of "Sisters" 1973. Singer Paul Williams is unforgettably ambitiously nasty as Swan the head of an evil conglomerate that ruins the life of young Winslow William Finley with a teeth-clenching opening narration by Rod Serling.
