Television and Cinema Verities #67



"Dracula as a character is very erotic. He becomes very attractive to women for that reason. A woman can be totally passive with Dracula: 'he made me drink, I couldn't help it.' I think it's possible for both men and women to imagine being taken in that way. Dracula seems to represent a kind of doorway to sexual abandonment not possible with a mere mortal. Besides, he's offering immortality."

- Frank Langella discusses the role of Dracula, from 1979, in U.S. Magazine.
