Description
Cast: Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Kate Nelligan
Bram Stoker’s legendary bloodsucker saga is given a lush, fog-filled 70s update from Badham, director of Saturday Night Fever. The suave and sexy Langella, recreating his turn from a successful Broadway production, is the perfect Dracula for the disco-era and Olivier is an enjoyably hammy Van Helsing. Badham eschews a pop soundtrack, opting for a wonderfully doom-laden orchestral sound courtesy of composer John Williams.
