Didn't Olivier have a bad Jewish accent in this film?.. or am I thinking of Yentl?

In my opinion, the last---and definitive version of DRACULA was the Louis Jourdan version COUNT DRACULA. Before that the Dan Curtis version. I look upon the Langella version as the point in horror...

I remember shock and instant disappointment when seeing the Badham DRACULA on the big screen in '79. I couldn't believe that the picture started at the Count's arrival in London! A day or so after the...

John Badham, who was actually quite a gifted director if one sees his early work for shows like KUNG FU, seemed bound and determined to imitate Billy Friedkin's THE EXORCIST with his take on DRACULA....

I thought the Langella film was very good and I thought it exceeded the Coppola version overall. Think casting for one. I'd say it was an interesting choice, and successful, when Langella decided to...

I love this version. It seems more like the Hammer take - jettison the boring Stoker snoozefest, amp up the play and push it along at a fair old rate. Just as horror was becoming all about young girls...
