Every few years I enjoy re-watching Bela’s “Dracula” to savor again his wonderful performance delivering all those classic lines. He had honed them to perfection with years of playing the role on stage. “I am . . . Dracooola. Welcome to my castle.” “For one who has lived but one lifetime, you are very wise, van Helsing.” One of Hungary’s greatest gifts to the world (along with the Gabors and Peter Lorre.)
