De La Noche: Lupita Tovar & Universal's Drácula

  • Summary

  • For decades, Spanish Drácula (1931), the dual-language production of Universal's Dracula (1931) directed by Tod Browning, was considered a lost film. It would be Lupita Tovar, George Melford's leading lady, who would help carry the legacy of this once-forgotten production into the 21st century. In this episode, we will trace Tovar's career from talent-search find to Hollywood matriarch, examine an industry aiming to use the new invention of sound to capture audiences abroad, and explain why Spanish Drácula is essential viewing.
