Velcome to the second part of our Dracula show.
In part one we looked at the tortious route from book to screen. Now we examine the films that resulted from all that work. .
The English language Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Here we talk about:
- Lugosi’s performance.
- The odd journey to the UK (and why it looks speeded up)
- Dwight Frye’s performance as Renfield
- The censorship cuts
- The director controversy
- And much more
Then to the Spanish language version which is 30 minutes longer. But is it better? We discuss in detail.
Finally, we talk about the 1970’s revival of the original play and how that led to the Frank Langella version in 1979.
So, if you are a fan of Dracula or indeed vampires, then this show is for you.
Enjoy and have a very happy Halloween.
