Drakula İstanbul’da (Dracula in Istanbul) is a 1953 Turkish film version of Bram Stoker’s original novel Dracula.
The screenplay was based on a 1928 novel by Ali Riza Seyfi called Kazıklı Voyvoda (“Impaler Voivode”), and is more or less a translation of Stoker’s novel, but there is no Renfield character and Güzin, the “Mina” character, is a showgirl given to performing in revealing outfits. Drakula/Dracula is played by balding Atif Kaptan. Both the novel and the film make an explicit connection with the historical Vlad the Impaler, the Prince and three-time Voivode of Wallachia.
The film was directed by Mehmet Muhtar and stars Annie Ball (as Güzin), Cahit Irgat, Ayfer Feray, Bülent Oran, Atif Kaptan.
