Watch Fantoms v. Fantomas at the French Concerte Arte TV site here.
Fantômas IV: Fantoms Against Fantômas (Dir. Louis Feulliade), released in the Spring of 1914, was the fourth episode in a series of French gothic "phantom" films based on the popular Fantômas novels by Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre. Because they were silent, there was no language problem!
The series starred Rene Navarre as the Phantom, Edmond Bréon as police inspector Juve, Georges Melchior as an enterprising journalist, and Laurent Morleas.
The Silent Era website provides a free showing of Fantomas (1913), the first film in the series here.
