For his final screen appearance as Dracula, Christopher Lee stars in this 1976 comedy in which The Count and his son must survive the modern world. 2-DISC COLLECTION FEATURING THE ORIGINAL DIRECTOR'S CUT AND THE U.S. THEATRICAL VERSIONFor his tenth and final screen appearance as Dracula, Christopher Lee starred - speaking fluent French - in this slyly ingenious 1976 horror comedy based on a novel by Claude Klotz (THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND) and directed by Academy Award® nominee Édouard Molinaro (LA CAGE AUX FOLLES). But when the U.S. distributor re-cut and dubbed the film into a broad parody, it was deservedly met with universal disdain. Molinaro's Director's Cut can now be experienced for the first time ever in America, lovingly restored in 4K from the original negative with both French & English audio tracks. Bernard Menez (DAY FOR NIGHT), Marie-Hélène Breillat (LAST TANGO IN PARIS) and future writer/director Catherine Breillat (ANATOMY OF HELL) co-star in this 'charming satire' (The Christopher Lee Filmography) featuring a sumptuous score by Vladimir Cosma (DIVA) and loaded with vintage & new Special Features.Special FeaturesDISC 1Audio Commentary With Christopher Lee Biographer Jonathan Rigby And Hammer Historian Kevin LyonsAudio Commentary With Kat Ellinger, Author Of Daughters Of DarknessLet The Son Shine In - Interview With Actor Bernard Menez Archival French TV Interview With Christopher LeeThe Molinaro Tapes - Archival Audio Interview With Director Édouard MolinaroWho Was Claude Klotz? - Filmmaker Patrice Leconte On His Three-Time Co-Writer And Author Of The Novel Paris VampireArchival Interview With Claude Klotz At A 1976 Presentation Of DRACULA AND SON In MarseilleTrailerDISC 2DRACULA AND SON (U.S. Version)German Credit SequencesTV Spot Media Bonus Materials Audio Commentary With Christopher Lee Biographer Jonathan Rigby And Hammer Historian Kevin Lyons Audio Commentary With Kat Ellinger, Author Of Daughters Of Darkness Let The Son Shine In — Interview With Actor Bernard Menez Archival French TV Interview With Christopher Lee The Molinaro Tapes — Archival Audio Interview With Director Édouard Molinaro Who Was Claude Klotz? — Filmmaker Patrice Leconte On His Three-Time Co-Writer And Author Of The Novel Paris Vampire Archival Interview With Claude Klotz At A 1976 Presentation Of DRACULA AND SON In Marseille Trailer DRACULA AND SON (U.S. Version) German Credit Sequences TV Spot Cast & CrewActors: Christopher Lee as Dracula Bernard Menez as Ferdinand Marie-Hélène Breillat as Nicole Catherine Breillat as Herminie Mustapha Dali as Khaleb Bernard Alane as Jean Claude Génia as Marguerite Jean-Claude Dauphin as Cristéa Anna Gaël as Miss Gaylor Gérard Jugnot as Factory Manager Raymond Bussières as Old Man at the Employment Agency Director: Édouard MolinaroProducer: Alain Poiré Additional Details Label: Severin Films Genre: Comedy Language: French Run Time: 99 minsRegion: 1 Release Date: 09/26/23 UPC: 760137104681 Show more
