guess what's happened to count dracula (1970)

Count Adrian (Des Roberts) has escaped communist Romania and now runs a Hollywood bar, where he lurks in the background in full cape outfit, arching his eyebrows. Whilst doing so he spots Angelica (Claudia Barron) and determines she will become his next bride. We then follow him as he tries various wooing techniques that usually involve biting her. Subsequently she visits her doctor, complaining of tiredness. He helpfully suggests that her boyfriend should be less passionate when he spots the tell tale fang marks on her neck!
This is long on talk, short on action or any kind of mood at all. A very flat movie, full of unintentionally funny moments, and lots of green and red lighting in lieu of any kind of mood, tension, editing or a decent script. I did learn one thing from this film: never use a Tiger as a guard dog, they are useless! This falls into the realm of the so bad its bad film and thus a good cure for insomnia if you need one!
