Phantom of the Paradise
ComedyDramaFantasyHorrorMusicalRomanceThriller92 min
After ruthless producer Swan steals his songs and the singer he loves for the opening of a new rock palace, songwriter Winslow Leach (William Finley) is pulled into a warped revenge plot of contracts, masks, and pop stardom. Paul Williams’s Swan runs the music business with a smile and a stranglehold, while Jessica Harper is the vocalist caught in the middle of Winslow’s fight to reclaim his work. Written and directed by Brian De Palma, the film folds Faust and Phantom of the Opera into a glam-rock world of record deals, corruption, and a composer remade into a masked avenger.
