Dracula (1979)

Dracula (1979, USA/GBR) C-109m. SCOPE *** D: John Badham. Starring Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan, Trevor Eve, Tony Haygarth. Estimable attempt at filming Bram Stoker's famous novel about vampiric count and his quest in early 20th century England. Usually not counted among the better DRACULA versions, but cast is game and production (by Walter Mirisch) is handsome. Try and catch it in widescreen. Well-photographed by Gilbert Taylor, nice score by John Williams.
