Comments:Bela Lugosi, the Hungarian star of stage and screen who originated the iconic role of Dracula both on Broadway and in the classic 1931 Universal horror film.

Description: The film will focus on a younger Lugosi, capturing his meteoric rise to become one of cinema’s most enduring and recognizable figures. The film chronicles his immigration from Hungary and rise to stardom, both as the star of Dracula on Broadway in the late 1920s and its 1931 Hollywood adaptation, as well as his precipitous fall after declining the role of Frankenstein, which went to his future rival Boris Karloff. While Lugosi never could escape the role of Dracula, it cemented his place in history as the cornerstone of the pantheon of legendary monsters from Universal.
