Bela Luguosi Is Brought Back To Life In Ed Wood

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2006)

Ed Wood is an excellent biography of the life and times of a man who let nothing including lack of talent stand in his way of making movies. The viewer has to admire the spirit of this man who stands up to Hollywood and refuses to be rejected. The film is inspiring at times and always interesting. Martin Landau actually becomes Bela Lugosi mastering the voice, timing and mannerisms of the actor best known as Dracula certainly earning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. The relationship portrayed between Wood and Lugosi is heartwarming to say the least. All the characters work well together making you feel this is a true story of people who knew and worked with each other. Lisa Marie makes an excellent appearance as Vampira. The black and white filming adds to the mystique of this film.
