Dracula comes to small town America. This movie has a lot going for it. There is skilful black and white cinematography by Jack MacKenzie, an appropriate music score by Gerald Fried and atmospheric direction by Paul Landres that makes plausible a vampire in a contemporary milieu. It is surprisingly creepy on a low budget. It is also helped by smooth and sinister Francis Lederer as Dracula and sweet and sassy Norma Eberhardt as Rachel. Their scenes together are the best in the movie.
It was originally called 'The Return of Dracula. but was re-titled poorly as 'The Fantastic Disappearing Man' which makes it sound more like a science fiction story. Whatever it's called it is a fine film and well worth watching.
