    Another tribute to Claude Rains. The scenes are from the 1935 movie, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and the music is Lucas King's "The Manipulator."

      I wish Claude was still alive. I have emotional breakdowns over him sometimes. Although he died before I was born, truly, I am a huge fan of Claude Rains. I love him.

    Hey, thank you for sharing this video with me!! Superb work, great song, wow!!!! OMG, I have not heard of this movie, but now I got something I can look into!! Claude Rains will always be a legend, just those piercing eyes and that commanding voice; just an amazing actor all around!!!! Loved him in Battle of the Worlds (1961); that end when he laughs like a madman--reminded me of the Invisible Man's laugh!!!! I found a book on Claude Rains' acting called "Claude Rains: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference to His Work in Film, Stage, Radio, Television and Recordings." I am waiting to get it in the mail, but I hope it's good! It may be something up your alley too!

      @ Belonzo Strangelove - His Phantom of the Opera is my favorite characterization of the man who was driven to become the Phantom. Also, I love Battle of the Worlds partially because of him, but also the film score is so uniquely European. The opening music is very haunting.

      @@tonysantiago255 I so agree! Phantom is so tragic!!! And, dude, towards the end of Battle of Worlds, when Rains laughs crazily as the ship is about to blow is just such a crazy awesome scene because I hear an echo of the Invisible Man!
