Columbia borrowed Bela Lugosi for this film, and even though they were prohibited from calling his character "Dracula", that's pretty much who he was playing.
Still, this film has a lot to recommend it. First, it has a steady female hero who stands up to the horror of the vampire and doesn't need to hide behind men. There is the hench-wolf, who apparently does the vampire's laundry for it. (Good laundry service is hard for a vampire to find.) You have the skeptical chief of Scotland Yard and a couple of ironic grave-diggers.
For a cheap B movie, pretty good overall.
