Phantom Of The Paradise 40th Anniversary Panel 7-30-14 pt 1 

thinking of you, mr. finley. i wish he could’ve been here with everyone else. i miss his presence in the world. he was such a good person, a brilliant actor, and the perfect fit for paradise’s phantom. though it’s been some years since his passing, i still get a little mopey at the thought of him being gone. i don’t know why i’m choosing this comment section to get this out of my system... maybe it just helps putting these thoughts in a place full of other phantom fans who know where i’m coming from. anyway, i hope you’re resting in peace william finley. we miss you out here.

Jessica still does it for me. Been in love with her since I was a kid and saw this movie.

I'm 26 .. my mom who has passed now, showed me this movie when I was 5 or 6... I have the sound track on vinyl and she played beef in her school play years ago. Hands down this movie shaped who I am. I love it love it love it. This touches my heart. ❤❤❤ I will be sure to show my children when I have them. Cause it's real real.

A childhood friend and I went to see Phantom of the Paradise when it was first released in theaters. That friend passed away earlier this month from COVID. Every time since, whenever I watch this movie I think of better times. Phantom of the Paradise was a cult classic before The Rock Horror Picture Show.

Jessica is stunning, got all her movies, books and a signed note she mailed her #1 fan.

Phanton is the best movie I've ever seen

RIP Winslow.

man, I didn't know william died, I just discovered the movie a few days ago and I loved it. Now I feel sad :(

Okay, that neon lighting bolt scene scared the shit out of me as a child, what was my mom doing taking me to see this? God bless her because this movie is one of the best to ever do it, musical horror. Extra props to Depalma and the whole cast, bravo!

So thrilled for this, and I can't believe I'm just finding out about this.

I fist watched this movie n 1974 and here I am again in 2017 watching the reunion after watching the movie again.

Got to catch the movie and panel live last year. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

I wished they paid tribute to William 😔

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

I wish Jeffrey Comanor was in this reunion. He's done no interviews and love to hear from him. Wondering why he gave up on music and decided to become a Chiropractor. He was the one that sang the lead on the song.... Upholstery

Philbin is not there also. He died back in 1985. He was Swan's pervert assistant. That movie was well ahead of that time. I saw it on TV when I was a child and I really loved it!

My mom and I watched this on tv when I was around eleven or so. I do not think she knew what the movie was about, since she had never seen it, but she knew I LOVED monster movies (this is in 1977 or so). Well, I suppose the Devil is a monster. LOL. The music is amazing, and the film was freakin' cool. Thank s mom, for keeping it on.

Damn, I feel fucking old right now...

De Palma made so many good movies after this masterpiece, that probably people tent to forget how good POTP was!

Jessica singing Old Souls is just sublime. And she still has nice legs. :)

i would have been there in a heartbeat. Great movie and sound track

This movie horrified me as a kid. I can't believe I was allowed to watch it! Still, I love it and especially the soundtrack!

so glad you posted this! Thanks!!!

Loved this movie. Friends and I saw it a few times each...I recall watching it 12 times myself.

i’d love to see the bloopers for this movie

I lobbied to name my third child, a girl, Pheonix. My ex didn't like it but when we settled on a name it was Hypatia.

It seems that Jessica Harper did not want to hug Paul Willliams... Did you note it?

Best musical ever !!!!!!!

I’ll rewrite my cantata....but you best play what I write

Te sigo amando Jesica Harper.

this was my first time seeing it!! amazing movie!!

Paul Williams is a genius❤❤❤

I;m just assuming the lighting guy got fired.

Very good and nice movie! 70's all years ago! The music never ! Forget!! Paul and willian twins!!!

I have been interested to watch this movie ever since I heard that Paul Williams was in it this is going to be so cool!!!

Wow, I wonder why Jessica left Paul with "open arms" ? Paul is a such a Wonderfull Gentleman... hmmm maybe that's why, she really will give it to the evil swam.

Paul Williams is a genius.

Gerrit Graham very funny person

6 degrees of Paul Williams he's awesome!

i was a little boy when this movie came out 1974 I had to sneak in to see it.

One of my favorites movies ever.

Jessica still looks fantastic

question. wasnt phoenix supposed to die when swan died because of the contract?

Hello - Thanks for attending our Phantom of the Paradise event! Hope you enjoyed it. However, it's come to our attention that you've uploaded an unauthorized video of the proceedings to RU-vid. Respectfully, we'd like to ask that you remove it. We went to great expense to put this event on, and to have it professionally recorded. Not only is it against the terms of our contract with the professional videographers to allow alternate recordings, but it's also dissuasive to potential attendees of future events - how many would attend if they could just see the Q&A in its entirety on RU-vid the next day? If you've been to our shop or events, you know that we're absolutely as friendly as we can be about photography, social media presence, and customer relations, but we have to draw the line when it comes to violating terms of an agreement we've made with an outside company. Thanks for your understanding, your support of the event, and thanks for joining us for this wonderful evening with an amazing movie! Creature Features

Is this a yearly thing in Winnipeg ? I would love to go and check it out . I know they won't have the cast every year but I hear there is a sing a long ?

Jessica Harper was 25 back then

Not that Beef should have been played by anyone else... Edgar Wright later directed The Sparks Brothers documentary, which made me wonder how Russel Mael would have been as Beef. Ronald, of course, could have been Winslow. They would have been the right age for it.

No Archie Hann, R.I.P. William Finley. Great movie, outstanding music soundtrack..

Awesome film! I remember watching it in the theater.

omg i love this movie rip phanton i will always miss you

Un Capolavoro Avevo 17 Anni Che Ricordi

The. Hole. Was. A. Something. In. It. Self. . That. Dance. Wow

She is something.

Jessica, Minority Report was NOT a bomb :)

Could the tech be any worse on this thing? Geez!

Paul is going to hell for selling his soul, he wrote all that music and never had a hit after that.

Like like like 👍😁👍🎸

Too bad almost none of this is intelligible.
