Count Dracula is a 1970 horror film in which the evil nobleman regains his youth by drinking the blood of maidens. He is pursued in London and Transylvania by Professor Van Helsing, Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris.
The movie was directed by Jesús Franco and based on the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.
The movie stars Christopher Lee, Klaus Kinski (later in Nosferatu the Vampyre), Maria Rohm, Herbert Lom, Fred Williams, Soledad Miranda, Jack Taylor and Paul Muller.
Although Count Dracula stars Christopher Lee in the title role, it is not a Hammer production like his other Dracula films, but was produced by Harry Alan Towers. Klaus Kinski, who would play Dracula himself nine years later in Nosferatu the Vampyre, is also featured in the film. Count Dracula was advertised as the most faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s novel. Among other details, it was the first film version of the novel in which Dracula begins as an old man and becomes younger as he feeds upon fresh blood.
