Turkish Dracula

 

 (tmdb)

DRACULA IN ISTANBUL-1954- (original title: DRAKULA ISTANBUL'DA)-Unusual Turkish adaptation of the Stoker tale. It's the first version to show the count with fangs and to make a direct connection between Drac and Vlad the Impaler. No crosses are used and there's no Renfield character. Dracula (Atif Kaptan) comes from Romania to terrorize Istanbul. He sets his sights on Guzin (Annie Ball), a show girl and fiancée of Azmi (Bulent Oran), who's already had an encounter with the Count. It's actually based on book from 1928 which was sort of an adaptation of “Dracula”.

Thanks for reading!
