Skal discovered the legendary Spanish-language version of the 1931 Dracula in Cuba. Shot at night on the same Universal sets as Tod Browning's classic after, his crew went home for the evening, and using a translated version of the same script, this version features a cast of Mexican and South American actors under the direction of George Melford. When this version was released in 1992 in the U.S. (with subtitles), a small but fervent coterie of fans proclaimed it superior to Tod Browning's original. While practically identical in many ways, Melford creates a more atmospheric set and has his camera prowling though it in key moments, resulting in a more stylish and smooth film. He punctuates scenes with striking compositions and startling close-ups and paces the film more evenly (even though it emerges 30 minutes longer ). Two elements stand out above all. The lovely Lupita Tovar makes a much sexier Mina (named Eva here), signaling her transformation to the dark side by rising from her bed in a low-cut, and very revealing, nightgown, as if displaying her newfound sexual aggressiveness. The film's sole weakness is Carlos Villar's Dracula, who is nowhere near as charismatic as Bela Lugosi. Though his portrayal improves over the course of the film, he never comes close to Lugosi's intensity or aristocratic demeanor. --Sean Axmaker ENG: This is my personal rip of the spanish DVD. It contains in the same Matroska file the original spanish audio track, and five subtitles (italian, spanish, italian, portuguese and croatian) selectable during playback. You need H.263 and AC3 codecs to play this. I recommend using VLC Media Player, as it uses its own codecs. ESP: Este es mi propio rip del DVD espa?ol. Contiene en el mismo archivo Matroska la pista de audio original en espa?ol y cinco de subtitulos (espa?ol, italiano, ingles, portugues y croata), intercambiables durante la reproduccion. Es necesario tener instalados los codecs H.263 y AC3 para reproducirlo. Recomiendo usar el VLC Media Player, pues ya los trae incluidos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movie Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: At midnight on Walpurgis Night, an English clerk, Renfield, arrives at Count Dracula's castle in the Carpathian Mountains. After signing papers to take over a ruined abbey near London, Dracula drives Renfield mad and commands obedience. Renfield escorts the boxed count on a death ship to London. From there, the Count is introduced into the society of his neighbor, Dr. Seward, who runs an asylum. Dracula makes short work of family friend, Lucia Weston, then begins his assault on Eva Seward, the doctor's daughter. A visiting expert in the occult, Van Helsing, recognizes Dracula for who he is, and there begins a battle for Eva's body and soul. Written by {[email protected] /* */} Trivia: * This Spanish-language version was filmed on the same sets and at the same time as the English-language, Bela Lugosi version. The English-language version was filmed during the day, and the Spanish-language version was filmed at night. * This Spanish-language version runs nearly a half-hour longer than the English-language version that was being shot during the day. * Director George Melford did not speak or understand Spanish. * Although this version was shot in Spanish, it became a mixture of dialects since the cast came from Mexico, Spain, Central and South America. * For decades, the only surviving print, while in mint condition, was missing several minutes worth of material that encompassed Renfield's seduction by the Dracula's brides and the voyage to England. The "lost" reel was eventually located in Cuba, and has been restored to complete the film as much as possible. Though much more worn and aged than the rest of the film, the additional footage differs strikingly from the English-language version, probably more so than any other part of the film. * When this film was released on DVD in 2004 as part of the "Dracula: Legacy Collection", it included closed captions for the hearing impaired, but did not contain the straight English subtitles. Universal answered buyers' complaints by telling them to simply select the "closed captions". * In the theatre scenes, the final shot of the ballet is borrowed from Universal's The Phantom of the Opera (1925). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My releases so far... personal rips from original DVDs, looking for quality...
