Dracula (1958)
Country: GB
Technical: col 82m
Director: Terence Fisher
Cast: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough
Synopsis:
Jonathan Harker's attempted despatch of the Count at the latter's castle is met with an angry response, and as those dearest to Harker are threatened, he seeks help from his fellow vampire-hunter, Doctor Van Helsing.
Review:
A riot of colour and garish music from James Bernard made this Hammer re-boot of the Universal franchise a shuddering success. From Lee's feral performance to the newfound voluptuousness of his targets, the little company from Bray in Berkshire, UK, had hit the mother lode that would keep it in clover for the next decade and a half.
