Just been lent a copy of this version of Dracula:- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303928/ ...from ITV's "Mystery & Imagination" series. I don't think I've ever seen it before; it stars Denholm Elliot as Dracula, and Susan George as Lucy Weston(!). Clip here:- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uMoXrxQBw4I | ||

Never heard of that one, but Bernard Archard was good in Pyramids of Mars and director Patrick Dromgoole was responsible for a stack of good telly from HTV | ||

I quite enjoyed the last BBC version, with Marc Warren as DRAC. Generally wrong but quite entertaining too. | ||

I've never heard of this version Mick, picture quality looks good...Was it originally in colour? has it been 'officially' released? Not sure about the authenticity of Dracs' Specs..  gcw | ||

 Unfortunately the quality isn't great. It's about the same as that clip on YouTube, which is fine when it's a 3" picture, but a bit soft when it's on yer telly! | ||

I have a 'Vidfired' DVD of Doctor Who's 'The Invasion' from 1968...And the picture quality on the interior scenes is incredible, amazingly sharp. gcw | ||

There's a godawful version with Patrick Bergin. The story is an updated version set in Italy I think. The worst version I ever had the misfortune to sit through. I would highlight its dreadfulness if I hadn't taken to using the word 'fuck' so often. | ||

Frank - I watched about 5 minutes of the Bergin version before I slipped into a coma for the duration of this 'film'... ...I think Anchor Bay gave all the 'lucky' attendees of the Dead by Dawn film festival a free copy of this one year! |
