Vampire Over London was the same film as Mother Riley Meets the Vampire, and 'My Son, The Vampire'.'Old Mother Riley was ridiculous, and I truly felt he tried to make a fool out of Bela...but he didn't suceed. Lugosi had style and grace, and was too good for most of the roles he played.
i saw this interview many, many years back on television. bela really stood out in his time. there was nobody like him and hollywood threw him away because they thought karloff was so much better. karloff is good and all, but lugosi is always so much more interesting to watch. no horror star today can hold a candle to him or any of the other legends from that era.
@SaintMeran nope he was BORN in the city he wasn't sent there by anyone, obviously. I'm not surprised that he left though. Eastern Europe is horrible even today let alone back then
@filmmakingjoe: Because the presence of low-quality stuff like Twilight seeps the greatness that people like Bela Lugosi are composed of straight out of the universe. Duh!
That was great. Thanks for posting it!!

Un grandissimo attore, purtroppo troppo spesso relegato a un unico filone cinematrografico.

The movie Ed Wood depicted Lugosi as a charming and likeable guy and interviews like this certainly prove that's exactly how he was!

@WhenLilacsLast No way man, making eye contact with Bela Lugosi is dangerous. He can see into your soul and even make you his slave!
