Rating: - finally, an entertaining and detailed tribute to the man of mystery.
i have waited for a documentary about horror legend bela lugosi for so long and now it's here on dvd for the first time. gary don rhodes has done a brilliant job.
i particularly like the background music that was selected for the programme and the early photos of the man himself(most of which were previously unseen i would say). all the highlights are here: lugosi's early theatre experiences, his world war one experiences and of course, his breakthrough role that would make his name - dracula.
the special features are plentiful: extra interviews along with those that were given by lugosi. only negative point here is the interview given by his last wife. talk about a cold fish: from the outset, it became rather obvious that she wasn't interested in making a contribution to the documentary. she didn't exactly go out of her way in expressing any love or respect for her late husband(what sort of marriage could they have had?). what with being so cold, disinterested and sometimes offensive, i'm surprised her "interview" made it to the dvd release at all! still, only a minor problem.
the other seperate interviews are much more interesting and insightful. the bonus footage of lugosi in a foreign short film is intriguing if rather brief. altogether, there must be at least another hour's worth of footage. the other dvd includes very good bonus radio performances and interviews that are a treasure for any lugosi fan.
i just hope fellow horror legend boris karloff is given the same treatment in time to come.
