Lesbians just LOVE this film, because she primarily goes after female victims, has Irving Pichel as her version of Renfield, and, yes, there is a sadomasochistic aspect to their relationship. The average lesbian can just pound their breasts over this film, like reverent Catholics, while clutching their copy of Radclyffe Hall's "The Well Of Loneliness!!!!!!!!!!"
Seriously, girls, "Dracula's Daughter" is a gem. It has been three years since last shown on "Svengoolie," so I know viewers will clamor to it. It has superb set design and art direction, and Gloria Holden's performance is signature. This remains her best-known film, and for good reason; the camera loves her, and she says more with her looks than with her dialogue. Nineteen years later, someone working on the film "Cult Of The Cobra" must have seen "Dracula's Daughter," because Faith Domergue, as the snake goddess in human form, is given almost the same look. No coincidence, I think.
Lesbian or not, "Dracula's Daughter" is a rare treat. It is hardly ever shown on television, and God forbid it should appear on the revival circuit.
So, tune in to something really special, whether it is your first time, or not.
Fangs a million, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
