Dracula's Daughter
Dracula's Daughter is a 1936 American vampire horror film produced by Universal Pictures as a sequel to the 1931 film" Dracula".
Directed by Lambert Hillyer from a screenplay by Garrett Fort, the film stars Otto Kruger, Gloria Holden in the title role, Marguerite Churchill and features, as the only cast member to return from the original, Edward Van Sloan – although his character's name was altered from Van Helsing to" Von" Helsing.
" Dracula's Daughter" tells the story of Countess Marya Zaleska, the daughter of Count Dracula and herself a vampire.
Following Dracula's death, she believes that by destroying his body she will be free of his influence and live normally.
When this fails, she turns to a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Garth( Otto Kruger).
He, in turn, has a fiance, Janet( Marguerite Churchill).
The Countess kidnaps Janet and takes her to Transylvania, leading to a battle between Dr. Garth and the Countess in an attempt by him to save Janet.
Ostensibly based on a short story titled" Dracula's Guest" by Bram Stoker, the film bears little or no resemblance to the original source material.
David O. Selznick initially purchased the rights to the story for Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer.
Selznick, likely knowing he could not legally make the film because of Universal's copyright on the original film, sold the rights to Universal.
After first assigning the picture to James Whale, Universal production head Carl Laemmle, Jr. finally put Hillyer in the director's chair.
While not as successful as the original upon its release, the film was generally well- reviewed.
In the intervening decades, criticism has been deeply divided.
Contemporary critics and scholars have noted the film's strong lesbian overtones, which Universal acknowledged from the start of production and exploited in some early advertising.
Universal completed their initial" Dracula" trilogy in 1943 with" Son of Dracula".
