Peter Hutchings' many faceted account of Hammer's 1958 gothic horror classic explores the ways in which the history of the Dracula story, as well as the Hammer company's own fortunes affected the nature of the film, and looks closely at the film itself and the distinctive performance styles of its stars, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

SUPERB BOOK ON THE FIRST HAMMER DRACULA !!!,
By SwellBooks (Park Ridge, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dracula: A British Film Guide (Paperback)
This is a great book! Anyone interested in Dracula/ Hammer horror/ Christopher Lee must read this fascinating critique of the first Hammer horror Dracula film (titled simply "DRACULA" in the UK, "HORROR OF DRACULA" in the US). The serious, in-depth analysis of the film was so fascinating I read the book through in one sitting. Granted, it is a slim, 100 page volume, but it is a thoroughly interesting and very compelling read. Finally, serious film historians are taking a second look at these fine old Hammer films, and seeing that they are much better than critics originally thought. It is a volume no true Hammer fan can do without! I kid you not!!! -George Bauch.
