Count Dracula*
original title: Nachts Wenn Dracula Erwacht (Nights When Dracula Wakes)
aka: Bram Stoker's Count Dracula; The Nights of Dracula; Dracula 71; El Conde Dracula; and others
(Spa/WG/Ita/Liechtenstein 1970)
Cheap but spirited attempt to tell the faithful story of Stoker's original novel which begins well and has some stylish moments but takes inevitable short cuts with the plot, economically shot within the Gothic confines of sunny Spain. The star looks resolutely sour-faced and intense, and secretly perhaps just a little bored at playing the role yet again.
Written by: Augusto Finocchi, Jesus Franco, from the novel by Bram Stoker.
Producer: Harry Alan Towers.
Director: Jesus Franco.
Starring: Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom, Fred Williams, Klaus Kinski, Maria Rohm, Soledad Miranda, Paul Muller, Jack Taylor, Jesus Franco.
Photography: Manuel Merino, Luciano Trasatti.
Music: Bruno Nicolai.
