DRACULA IN ISTANBUL (1953)

     If you want to see the rare Turkish movie DRAKULA ISTANBUL DA (DRACULA IN ISTANBUL 1953) it is now playing on You Tube in three versions.
     Version one is a second rate print with sub titles that seem to have been written by some one who  did not know English very well.
     Version two is a really nice print with no sub titles.
     And version three is the same nice print as version two with sub titles. The sub titles are written well but instead of playing as the actors speak the sub titles would play at the beginning of the scene to let you know what the actors were going to said.
     DRACULA IN ISTANBUL is a rather well made version of  the novel DRACULA with the film taking place in 1950's Turkey. Since Turkey is a Muslim country the people fighting the vampire instead of running him off with a cross they show him garlic which keeps him away.
