    I liked seeing Louis Jourdan in an extremely challenging role. He was no spring chicken when he did this film, yet I felt a youthfulness about him. The special effects weren't THAT special, but there were a few that were unique for 1977. The British did not have the technology th...( read more)at we Americans were spoiled with by George Lucas (Star Wars released the same year). Still, the script followed more closely to Bram Stoker's writing than most of the Dracula films. It was nominated for three BAFTA awards in 1978.

    There was a lot of nice things about this adaptation, you can tell that Francis Ford Coppola drew from this film, when he directed his own version.
