During the ballroom sequence the movie mysteriously turns into color for a brief time, which does a great job in highlighting the Phantoms red costume. The production value shows off the big budget that was spent on this movie, especially with sets like the ballroom, grand opera house, and the Phantom's dark dungeon. Not only is Chaney's turn as the Phantom incredibly memorable, the film's sets are also something to behold. He was truly one of the quintessential silent actors. Along with the incredible make-up job, Chaney brings out the un-predictable behavior and confused nature of the title character. Lon Chaney is so incredibly expressive that he makes the rest of the film's cast look lifeless in comparison.
