Drakula Istanbul'da (1953) (Dracula in Istanbul)

Report

This Turkish-made film sticks fairly close to the original plot of Bram Stoker's novel only the location is Istanbul in 1953. Dracula (Atif Kaptan) is a horror-film veteran in Turkey, somewhat equivalent to Peter Cushing of Hammer Studios Fame. There is no mention of religious idols and Dracula is repulsed by having garlic chucked at him. The English characters in Stoker's novel are Turkish here, with name changes, the most significant being in the storyline (the conversion of demure ingenue Mina Seward into a fleshly cabaret dancer named Guzin, erotically depicted by Annie Ball). Her character Guzin is a 'bad' girl and Dracula threatens to recruit her into the undead's legions.
