The Climax (1944)
"I don't hate you. I only hate the thing that's come between us: your voice."
"Yes, I know. You were out front tonight. I felt your eyes on me. Like you're looking at me now. Go away. Get out of here! I'm afraid of you."
"You needn't be. I love you, my darling, you know that. I'd give my life for you. This thing that shuts me out, I won't let it, I tell you I won't let it. It's here... now, between my fingers. I've only to close them to silence it forever."

Karloff is criminally underused as the Phantom insert#obsessed with a dead love (that he deaded) but the supporting cast make up for his absences. lovely Turhan Bey is a lovesick composer so#moved by his fiancée's first public performance that he eats his theatre programme. i mean if that doesn't sell it what will? also a stand#out is the perennially dependable Gomez as the brash theatre manager with a twinkle in his eye and a soft heart. a lot of fun this (ymmv)

Obviously everything about the "Opera Dormitories" is tied to gross ideas about the arts not being a real job or real work (ew)
But also I think it speaks to people's inability to accept Christine as a professional. Yes, she's young and naive as hell. But that doesn't change the fact that she's at the opera house to do a job she's skilled at. All the singing lessons in the world don't change the fact that she needs to show up on time, put in the work to learn music and lyrics and blocking, get along with coworkers, and do it well consistently show after show. Erik can't do that for her.
Let Christine Daae be a pure hearted ingenue but also a goddamn adult with a commute.
