Synopsis by Michael Hastings
One of actor/director René Clair's earliest successes, the silent Le Fantome du Moulin Rouge follows in the French cinema tradition of moody, atmospheric, morbid fantasies that began with the Les Vampires serials and continued through Jacques Tourneur's Cat People. In Le Fantome, a ghost wreaks havoc on the streets of Paris while policemen and doctors search for the dead man to whom the ghost's spirit once belonged.
