He joined Hammer in 1952, and five years later became their top filmmaker of the era, with a host of fan favorites, beginning in 1957 with The Curse of Frankenstein. His So Long at the Fair, which he made for Gainsborough, is a personal favorite of mine. Fisher entered the industry as an editor, active from the mid 1930s, and made the move to direction in 1948. Offered in both 1.66 and 1.85 aspect ratios, Terence Fisher’s Phantom of the Opera is quintessential early ’60s Hammer. Another Shout release from the Hammer catalog, which will be applauded by fans for the audio commentaries and extras.
