The Phantom of Paris is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by John S. Robertson and written by Bess Meredyth, Edwin Justus Mayer and John Meehan. The film stars John Gilbert and Leila Hyams, and is based on the 1913 novel Chéri-Bibi and Cécily by Gaston Leroux. The film was released on September 12, 1931, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
