count dracula (1970)

aka Jess Franco's Count Dracula. Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht. Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. The Nights of Dracula.
"Professor you must do something, you can't let her die through ignorance."
A standard telling of the Dracula story, with Jonathan Harker (Fred Williams) enabling the Count (Christopher Lee) to spread his wings and emergrate to England. Fortunately Prof. Van Helsing (Herbert Lom) is on hand to revoke his visa!
Jess Franco tries to tell the vampire story as straight as possible, but spends all the money on the all star cast, including Klaus Kinski. With very little left for anything else, he manages only to deliver a prosaic version of the tale.
