Dear All Regarding the recent correspondence about passion in Paris, to which I contributed a sort of quiz question, the much re-made movie I had in mind was (of course) The Phantom of the Opera - - though now I come to think of it, the Phantom is, in fact, motivated by a combination of sexual obsession and twisted revenge (a fairly standard horror-story motivation, I should think). Thinking about this subject -- sexual obsession in the Frencg capital -- I realize that there's another popular movie, that's been re-made several times (three? four?) that also fits the bill: even more than the Phantom, this is a tale of unrequited sexual desire. It was first made in 1923, remade in 1939; it's based on a more respectable literary source than Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera; it hasn't been made into a musical, so far as I know, but I believe I've heard rumours of a forthcoming Disney animated version (can this be true?). Any takers? -- Greg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gregory Evans 46 Greenham Road phone and fax: +44 (0)181 883 2085 London e-mail: [log in to unmask] N10 1LP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
