Dracula 4 films notes: Dracula- 1931 Tod Browning w/ Bella Lugosi Encounter with the women and Renfield- not sexual at all, very not dramatic oHe doesn’t say this man belongs to me oWomen are not sexual, they are more submissive and hunched over oCensors would not have allowed such a bold scene in the film Dracula with woman on the street- seductive, attacks her- was bolds for this time Bella Lugosi- good looking, aristocratic, proper, very different from Shreck’s Nosferatu oScene of him walking evokes Jack the Ripper with the dead woman on the street Dracula meets Dr. Seward- Mina is his daughter, Harker doesn’t know Dracula yet, Lucy is with them oLucy is fascinated by Dracula, love of the bad boy Dracula goes into Lucy’s room while she is sleeping and preys upon her- seen as very sexually bold for 1930s Renfield wants to get out of the asylum to help protect Mina- same as novel Mina tells of how dogs howled, mist appeared, and she saw red eyes coming towards her, she felt weak in the morning and as if life had drained from her.
