Taking place in the 1800s Dracula (Jack Palance) travels from Transylvania to England. There he meets Lucy (Fiona Lewis) who just happens to be the reincarnation of his long-dead wife.
Pretty good version of "Dracula". It looks great and was shot on beautiful locations. Also almost all the acting was good...except for one serious mistake. That's Jack Palance as Dracula. Now Palance was a great actor but all wrong for this role. He seems uneasy and looks silly with the fangs in his mouth. When he flew into rages over some things I didn't believe him at all. Also this version moves in fits and starts but I heard it was cut down from a 3 hour version. Also there were two pretty bloody scenes which was unusual for a 1974 TV movie. So, all in all, a fairly good TV version of "Dracula".
