Fully agree, and the London location work makes it even more enjoyable. No Blade Of Grass is another excellent (if nasty) British futuristic shocker.

No official release to my knowledge. I've got an excellent quality pirate copy which is uncut (restoring the rape scene cut from the video) and also features production notes and Wendy Richard interview.

I don't know if this is still available but the (UK) seller can still be found on Google.

That was the recording I used to have before replacing it with the DVD. Nasty film in parts but well acted and Nigel Davenport is excellent (as usual).

Cornel Wilde also directed the brilliant Beach Red.

Thankfully I've still got the video. My parents saw it on the cinema when it was first released in the late 60's though strangely the only BBFC listing is for the video.

Presented in a 3-disc Dual Format Edition and released on 2 December 2013, it is the last of nine home cinema titles released by the BFI as part of GOTHIC: The Dark Heart of Film.

When Erik, the Phantom (Lon Chaney) falls in love with the voice of Christine, a young opera singer (Mary Philbin) he drags her to the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House and forces her to sing only for him…

-Presented in both High Definition and Standard Definition
-Original 1925 version (b&w, 103 mins) with newly commissioned piano accompaniment by Ed Bussey
-Original 1925 trailer and 1929 sound reissue trailer
-Reel 5 from lost 1929 sound reissue: the only surviving element, discovered in the Library of Congress archives
-The ‘man with the lantern’ sequence: mysterious footage thought to have been shot for non-English speaking territories
-Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces(2000, Kevin Brownlow, 86 mins, DVD only): the definitive documentary on the legendary actor and make-up artist
