Dracula R47
Lobby Card, Dracula (1931)
is an American pre-Code vampire-horror film directed by Tod Browning and starring Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula. The film is based on the 1924 stage play by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, which in turn is an adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel of the same name. It is considered one of the first sound films of the horror genre and was a major commercial and critical success upon its release.
The film's cast also includes Helen Chandler as Mina Seward, David Manners as John Harker, and Dwight Frye as Renfield. Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula is widely regarded as the definitive one, and it established the character as a cultural icon and the archetypal vampire in later works of fiction.
