into supercharged and supernatural Don Juan Previous draculas have ex ploited the violent or religious dimensions of the Bram Stoker horror storythe new film at the Imperial gives us monster whos so beautiful and sexy its easier to sympathize with his victims than with his enemies Langella played Dracula for 50 weeks on Broadway and he milks the role for every ounce of melodrama and passion The voice is deep rich and delicate all at onceLangella sounds like young James Mason with face so pretty and sensual its no wonder the ladies in the film Film rights on book won by Canadians TORONTO CP

sophisticated charming and sexy to frighten uswas hard as Langella tries he never creates the kind of satanic menace that Bela Lugosi displayed in his Dracula films of the 19305 This Dracula takes himself so seriously that theres no depth to the characterization SUPERFICIAI This same superficiality erodes the performances of the other actors in the film Nelligan is true theatrical beauty
