Christopher Lee excels in this role - as a european aristocrat he was born to play de richaleu and invests the character with eruditon, dignity and intensity. The other two roles that belong to him are Scaramanga and Saruman. He was also quite good as Dracula.
@heartseed I think it refers to the religious ritual of fasting, in which you eat little or none at all in order to be more open to holy visions. A number of religions do this.
@pariantaloszy what's the difference to movies today? Oh yeah, the new movies have ultra loud pop music to push some lousy top 40 kid sales on the charts, and this simply has full bodied
orchestra music to enhance the scare factor. Yes, very loud, but in context!
I can't wait to try this circle thing when I get home tonite. Good fun for the whole family?

Christopher Lee is a fantastic actor not like that one dimensional effeminate wind bag Vincent Price.

I know it's probably made up on the spot, but out of curiosity does anyone know what is written in the circle that Christopher Lee draws?

@heartseed Fasting is supposed to purify the soul. It's probably a precaution to keep the dark forces at bay.

"This movie may have been made in 1968, but Dennis had written so much since after the war, just about any was a best seller."

Here Chris Lee is a good guy, but sometimes he's really evil like in Dracula.
He can play either part just as well.
