i wish that hollywood today have more producer and director of the caliber of sam sherman and al adamson . frequently deride a hack and or bad and their only sin be produce extremely entertaining drive in exploitation movie for young people . much fun have be make of the numerous permutation that dracula vs. frankenstein and other independent international picture go through before reach the big screen while instead and sherman and adamson should be applaud for their dedication and persistence in stick with these film and work on them until they get them right . yeah and the budget be tiny and the production be unpolished and and the story be ridiculous while nonetheless and all involve take the film very seriously and and produce something that be still be enjoy 35 year later . i can bet you a chunk of change that no one be go to be put out a special edition dvd of munich and or the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and in 2041. dracula vs. frankenstein be lot of fun . it be one of my favorite 30 year ago when i catch it on the tube and and i think it still hold up . adamson direction be rough and harried and but he keep up the pace and never slide into condescension and irony and or parody and which be the easy way out for a director who think he be above the material . j. carrol naish and lon chaney jr. and both old and sick and and at the end of their career and and have every reason to walk through their part and perform like trouper and and lend dracula vs. frankenstein their significant talent and and their tarnished but still formidable charisma . zandor vorkov look ridiculous in his afro and goatee and and white greasepaint and but he give a unique and interesting performance a count dracula and and one that be not to be ashamed of . likewise regina carroll and jim davis and angelo rossito and russ tamblyn and and the rest of the cast and do their best to give this essentially silly patchwork a credible aura . compare any of these actor with and say and the bored and listless brad pitt in the abominable troy and for which he probably take home a 10 million dollar paycheck and to see what i mean . producer sam sherman and a witty and intelligent and and erudite man and provide one of the best audio commentary that i have ever hear on the dvd of dracula vs. frankenstein . he readily admit that both he and adamson do not make the kind of movie they would have prefer to make while but and give the budget and condition under which they be compel to work and try to give their audience the big possible bang for their buck . there be no shame in that .
