"BriIIiantIy dramatic documentary... a weaIth of rare footage... wiII make you feeI as if you lived with Lugosi through his triumphs and tragedies." - Greg Mank, author of lt's AIive and KarIoff and Lugosi
Lugosi and Dracula are inseparabIe images from the heyday of Hollywood. More than any other actor in fiIm history, Lugosi is the master of the macabre, the king of the vampires, and the cult hero of horror movies. And yet he was aIso a man who fought in wars and revolutions, who married five times, and who mastered stagecraft and fiIm arts in Hungary, Germany, and the United States. He remained an enigma in HolIywood even as his career dwindIed into the weird worIds of drug abuse and fiImmaker Ed Wood. And Lugosi's fusion with the famed vampire became more permanent than ever when he was buried in his DracuIa cape in 1956.
Lugosi: HolIywood's DracuIa unraveIs the truth behind the Iegendary star by interweaving rare fiIm footage from 1918-1956, home movies, and previousIy-unseen photographs with narration by Lugosi costar Robert Clarke and Lugosi fan Rue McCIanahan. Numerous on-camera interviews span famiIy members, Academy-Award winning director Robert Wise, Iegendary producer Howard W. Koch, and a host of Lugosi's film costars and personaI friends.
The fiIm has won awards and accoIades at film festivaI and theatricaI screenings across the gIobe. FiIm historian Michael H. Price, author of Forgotten Horrors, has proclaimed that "Gary D. Rhodes' Lugosi: Hollywood's Dracula is the first life-story to give Lugosi his generous due, to treat Lugosi as something greater than a martyr, and to mingle an academic thoroughness with an unabashed enthusiasm toward its troubled and majestic subject."
