Phantom of the Opera from the 40's. Wonderful musical score. Claude Rains starred.

So film afficionados...what am I talking about?
From the Internet Movie Database ( imdb.com )

The Phantom of the Opera:

1. Phantom of the Opera (1943)
2. Phantom of the Opera (1997)
3. Phantom of the Opera, The (1983) (TV)
4. Phantom of the Opera, The (1989)
5. Phantom of the Opera, The (1990) (TV)
6. Phantom of the Opera, The (1962)
7. Phantom of the Opera, The (1925)

Since you're looking for the one in between the silent Lon Chaney (1925) and the Awful one (1962), that would be 1943 version directed by Arthur Lubin. Alexa is right...it's in color and stars Claude Rains as Enrique Claudin. Christine Dubois is played by Susanna Foster....Maybe you saw it while the world was still black and white?
