Rewatching the original Dracula. I've got a lot of love for the original book, and a soft spot for the good Count...but hearing that the original director didn't fully understand film makes things make sense. Still a classic though.

Yes, "Dracula" (1931) is not faithful to Bram Stoker's novel.
"...Universal opted to base the film on Hamilton Deane's and Louis Bromfield's melodramatic stage version...rather than Stoker's novel."
