Dracula
Universal Pictures, R1951 (Realart). U.S. half sheet. In the annals of film, the importance of the partnership of director Tod Browning and actor Bela Lugosi cannot be understated, and this is evidenced by the fact that no actor and no film attempting to recreate Bram Stoker's story has ever erased this particular version of Dracula from the public's collective mind. Lugosi's gestures and delivery and Browning's moody ambience show that suggestion only?not gore or special effects?is powerful enough to frighten audiences.
