He is seen and heard by music tycoon Swan and the evil impresario develops a plan to steal Winslow’s music and cast him aside. Combining elements of Phantom of the Opera, The Picture of Dorian Gray and the legend of Faust, this film is a smorgasbord of sensual delights. The music and the visuals are a sensory overload of the sort that film buffs dream of. An early effort by Brian De Palma, there is no other film like this in his oddball catalog. There are stand out performances by all involved including Jessica Harper, Gerrit Graham, Archie Hahn and William Finlay as the Phantom.
