Dracula – Spanish Version
Filmed at night on the same sets that were being used during the day for the 1931 English-language film of the same name. In the early days of sound, it was common for Hollywood studios to produce foreign-language versions of their films (usually in French, Spanish, Italian and German) using the same sets and costumes. Of the cast, only Carlos Villarías (playing Dracula) was permitted to see rushes of the English-language film starring Bela Lugosi and was encouraged to imitate the other man’s performance.
