Just loved this movie. Been waiting for years to have it on DVD. Worth the long wait. One of the best films of JOHN GILBERT, in the early talkie era. Has a charm about it and makes you wish that MGM would have put more effort in picking Films for this movie star. John Gilbert did a fine job in playing the character of Cheri-Bibi. It was like having his acting from the 1920s coming alive in the new era of the 1930s. This movie is based on the novel by Gaston Leroux . A nice Adaptation. If you are a fan of Gilbert, this DVD is a must have in your collection. The other actors in this movie did a great job too.. The film moves quickly in the style of the early talkies. I was not sound that destroyed the career of John Gilbert but poorly produced movies. MGM did help in picking good roles or directors. He did the best with what was offered to him. His drinking did not help matters. He was never given a chance to prove himself in the sound era. His last that film with Greta Garbo could not restore his career. It is sad. Yet we now can watch many of his films on DVD. I own 25 of his films. He will always be a true Movie Star in my opinion. Judge for yourself and you will not be unhappy in the long run. The first time I ever saw a John Gilbert movie was on PBS in 1970. The Film was titled: LOVE (1927) starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert.. I waited 41 years to find it DVD. A little known fact that John Gilbert's silent movies are the most popular films that have revivals at silent film festivals. Pure Entertainment. Please go find for yourself the joy of seeing a John Gilbert movie.

I'm an old-timey cinema buff, but John Gilbert, famed silent film star, falls outside my wheelhouse. THE PHANTOM OF PARIS is a suspenseful early talkie from MGM and the first Gilbert vehicle I've seen. The man's performance convinces me to explore his other films. This one's based on the Gaston Leroux novel, "Cheri-Bibi," which happens to be the name of our protagonist. And, now, some plot spoilers - you've been warned. Cheri-Bibi (Gilbert) is a celebrated stage magician and escape artist having a grand time working the Parisian circuit. The posters promoting his act tout him as "La plus grande sensation du monde," meaning he doesn't suck. But then he dares to reach above his station by romancing Cecile (Leila Hyams), a mademoiselle of nobility currently stepping out with the Marquis du Touchais (Ian Keith). The ambitious marquis means to marry into wealth and it's M. Cheri-Bibi's misfortune that du Touchais is a first class nogoodnik. When Cheri-Bibi and Cecile's disapproving father (C. Aubrey Smith) engage in a heated verbal spat, du Touchais parlays this into undermining Cheri-Bibi and Cecile's romance. To be exceedingly blunt, du Touchais murders Cecile's father and frames the flamboyant stage magician.

Those gaudy posters also hail Cheri-Bibi as "L'artist qui disparait" ("The Disappearing Artist"), and I guess there's truth in advertising because he vanishes behind bars, there to languish for four years. But, then, moments before his scheduled execution, our man breaks out of stir in clever fashion. Bent on revenging himself on the Marquis du Touchais - who, in Cheri-Bibi's absence, ended up marrying Cecile and having a child by her - the fugitive undertakes an audacious impersonation.

Whatever this movie may have lacked, it wasn’t the plot. John Gilbert plays a magician falsely accused of murdering his girlfriend’s father played respectively by Leila Hyams and Aubrey Smith. After he escapes from the sight of police; his girlfriend unwittingly marries the real murderer (Ian Smith). Shortly after their wedding, her husband dies mysteriously and his dead body is carried to a plastic surgeon where John Gilbert impersonates her husband and comes back alive! Confused? But read on, John Gilbert and Ian Smith were most look-alike actors in the pre-code era of Hollywood, which further complicates the plot of the film!! John Meredith directed this concoction that also starred other notable actors like Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt and Natalie Moorhead. I am a big fan of John Gilbert but disappointed with this movie.
