Old Dracula (1975)


American International Pictures
Directed by Clive Donner
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

David Niven revives his old flame Vampira at their castle in Transylvania. She turns out to be black comedienne Teresa Graves. He needs to find a rare blood type to change her color back to white, although she is perfectly happy with her new race. At one point, she goes to see a Jim Brown movie and starts talking jive. Anyway, the search for blood leads to London and the emerging disco scene, where things get a bit silly. Vampira never gets her race changed, so Niven changes his in the last scene.
