Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the character played by Claude Rains?

Answer: Erique Claudin

Claudin's first name of Erique is only said a few times in this film. You must listen carefully in order to catch it.

2. Who was the director of this film?

Answer: Arthur Lubin

Browning directed "Dracula", Freund directed "The Mummy", and Whale directed "Frankenstein", "The Invisible Man" and "The Bride of Frankenstein". This was the only Universal horror film that Lubin directed.

3. In the novel as well as the silent film version of this story, Christine's last name is Daae. For this film, they changed it for some reason. What was it changed to?

Answer: Dubois

I always found this to be very interesting. Why the people at Universal decided to change Christine's name is beyond me. After all, that is the name that was given to her by the author Gaston Leroux.

4. What form of music was Claudin writing?

Answer: a concerto

Claudin had been working for 2 years on this concerto, music that was built around the lullaby from his home province.

5. True or False: The music publishers that Claudin goes to see to try to get his work published were Playel and Desjardins.

Answer: True

Unfortunately, Playel would not give Claudin the time of day. Desjardins, on the other hand, liked Claudin's music. At the time that Claudin was in Playel's office, Desjardins was having the concerto played. That was when Claudin jumped to the conclusion that Playel and Desjardins had stolen his music.

6. What was it that disfigured Claudin's face?

Answer: acid

Playel's girlfriend threw acid at Claudin when he killed Playel for stealing his music.

7. Where does Claudin first "appear" to Christine?

Answer: her dressing room

"Christine, you're going to become a great and famous singer. I'll help you." I find it interesting that box 5 was never mentioned in this version of the story. It plays an integral part in the novel.

8. Who did Claudin appear to next?

Answer: Madame Biancaroli and her maid

Christine was the understudy for Madame Biancaroli. Claudin wanted her out of the way so that Christine's voice could be heard.

9. Yes or No: Does Claudin murder the madame and her maid?

Answer: Yes

Unfortunately, Madame Biancaroli does not comply with Claudin's wishes. She tries to rip off his mask, and he kills her. And just because the maid happens to be in the room at the time, she gets killed as well. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!

10. What famous composer agrees to play Claudin's music at the opera?

Answer: Franz Lizst

This is Garron's scheme to try to draw out Claudin. He feels that if Claudin hears his music being played, he will come out from hiding and the police will be able to apprehend him.

11. How does Claudin make his way to the stage?

Answer: kills an officer

For a second I thought the officer WAS Claudin. But then Claudin came out of nowhere and came up behind the officer to strangle him with a small rope.

12. What "shattering" thing does Claudin do during the opera?

Answer: causes the chandelier to fall

Shattering was your clue. How'd you know? ;-D While the members of the cast are singing away, Claudin is waaaay up above sawing away at the chandelier. And wouldn't you know it, as the alto is singing, she lets out a shrill scream right before it falls.

13. After this, Claudin takes Christine to the catacombs under the opera house. What is the one thing that he wants her to do for him only?

Answer: sing

"Sing Christine, sing!" While she is singing, she decides to find out what Claudin's face looks like behind the mask.

14. When Christine pulls off Claudin's mask, which side of his face is ruined?

Answer: left

The side looking AT the camera is the left. If I were to ask which side from Claudin's point of view then it would be the right. This part always puzzled me. If Claudin's whole face got the acid, (which it did) how come only the one side was disfigured?? Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Claude Rains didn't want too much makeup and insisted on doing the makeup aspect of the character himself.

15. At the end of the film, who wind up going to dinner?

Answer: Raoul and Anatole

"Can we get out of here without attracting attention?" "Of course. Who would ever notice a detective and a baritone?" I hope you have enjoyed another installment of my movie quizzes!!
