方托马斯:方托马斯

After the tremendous popular success of the Fant?mas novels, both of the major French film studios — Pathé and Gaumont — vied for the rights to produce films based on the series. Gaumont won, and from April 1913 to May 1914 Louis Feuillade directed five Fant?mas films which critic David Thomson has described as "the first great movie experience."
