Storyline
Plot Summary |
On the eve of her 16th birthday, Sylvie's father needs cash to stay in his castle so he sells Sylvie's favorite thing, a painting of Alain, the lover of Sylvie's grandmother, killed in a duel. Alain's ghost lives in the castle and Sylvie senses his presence, thinks she loves him, and fears that romance from the living will never come her way. Dad prepares a midnight surprise for Sylvie and her party guests: the appearance of the phantom. He's hired an actor, but two young men in love with Sylvie also volunteer to don white robes: Fred, the rich kid who bought the painting, and Ramure, a jewel thief in hiding. The youths declare their love, and Alain's ghost helps resolve all.

Did You Know?
Trivia | The special effect used for when the ghost appears was achieved by using two identical sets and a pane of glass angled in between them. This technique is called "Pepper's ghost," named after the English scientist John Henry Pepper (1821-1900) who popularized the effect with a demonstration at a theater in 1862. Teleprompters are a modern use of this technology. See more » |
