Iam on my second listen through from the beginning and the conversations just keep getting better and better.

Bela Lugosi remains a true favorite, but the 1931 film is incredibly slow and takes such a long time to get anywhere. Or at least, it feels like it.

One thing I want to correct is that Bela Lugosi had already learned English by the time he starred in Dracula. He’d had to learn his lines phonetically for a role in a Broadway play a few years prior, but he’d gained enough English (and had already played Dracula onstage) by the time he was cast in the movie.

One of my all time favorite shows. I’ve listened to this at least a dozen times (and fallen asleep to it dozens more) and I thoroughly enjoy it every time.
