¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Festival presents Drácula

Directed by George Melford

Filmed at night on the sets being used by the better-known version starring Bela Lugosi, this Spanish language version of Drácula is considered by many as the superior version. Carlos Villarías is a much more believably seductive Count, but the real difference is the more sophisticated look of the film, designed by the night-time crew after they saw the rushes of the Drácula daytime version and thought they could do better. They could.
