Halfvalue.co.uk Review
Although it's not as bold as Oscar darling Chicago,
The Phantom of the Opera continues the resuscitation
of the movie musical with a faithful adaptation of Andrew
Lloyd Webber's blockbuster stage musical. Emmy Rossum glows
in a breakout role as opera ingénue Christine Daae, and if

Film buffs and critics can argue until their faces turn blue

Academy Award for Best Picture of 1968, but the movie speaks
for itself on grandly entertaining terms. Adapted from
Dickens's classic novel, it's one of the most

Wild Bill Hickock (Howard Keel), Jane tries to mend her
