Dear Mr. Lee,

First things first -- Like many I am a longtime admirer of your work and have tried desperately to "catch up" with your enormous filmography. Your portrayal of Dracula is to my mind, quite simply, definitive. I've heard you speak very fondly of the Dracula film you did with Jesus Franco in (I believe) 1971. Could you discuss why you have such an affinity for that film (sadly I've yet to see it) aboce all your other Dracula films?

Best wishes,
Steve Vivona

Last I checked, a nice VHS version with a great still of Mr. Lee sporting the Count's white hair and mustache was available at the local video store.

I'm sure Amazon must have it. Mr. Lee's comments about the production values are also spot on--the constant zooming detracts measurably from the effect of the film. Still, Herbert Lom and Klaus Kinski make excellent co starts...

Worth getting!
