The maimed and framed, beaten and mutilated Phantom of the Paradise as portrayed by William Finley. This 1974 film by Brian DePalma is not only a send-up of the Glam Rock era, but also a tribute to movies such as The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Having bombed upon its initial release, it still managed to garner both Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. This movie has gone on to become a cult hit, with multiple IMAX revivals in the Nineties and a figure by Medicom Toys in the last ten. A fun film and worth checking out.
